An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (38.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saralegui.
Judged on this season alone, Saralegui graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 73rd of 96 of the 96 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 1.306 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, top 15% of the 96 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 23 Saralegui is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Boca Juniors finished 2nd of 15 · a title-challenging side
1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.31 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.5, Saralegui carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 96 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
