A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lekue.
Judged on this season alone, Lekue graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 1 clean sheet and 2.85 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 65th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 33 Lekue is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Athletic Club finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.1, Lekue carries the 65th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
