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.

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

Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.8, Navarro carries the 84th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División of 88. 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).

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 (~12), 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.
