We hold a single season for Medina, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 62nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 34 Medina is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 15, Medina carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Monterrey finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 34, Medina sits on 3.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Medina's projected Rating — 15 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.
