Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 22) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 36, Navarro sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Navarro's projected Rating — 16.8 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.
