Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 1 goal and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • 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 10.2, Cornejo carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera División of 43. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
