Defensive numbers. Modest 1.48 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.7, Medina carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga MX of 4 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Medina sits on 4.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Medina's projected Rating — 30.7 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.
