Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 37 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.07 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 13.7, Barrera carries the 13th-highest potential of the wingers in the Primera A of 21, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
