On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.5, ranking 134th of 167 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (45.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.58 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nacho.

Judged on this season alone, Nacho graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the Pro League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.575 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 24). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 20th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the Pro League. At 36 Nacho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.7% 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

With a Rating of 15.5, Nacho carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 22 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
