Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arana.

Judged on this season alone, Arana graded 31 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.359 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 24th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Arana is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Arana missed 12 games through injury (thigh, hamstring, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~25), then tapers with age. At 29, Arana sits on 13.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Arana's projected Rating — 46.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
