Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tello.
Judged on this season alone, Tello graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Primera A, on 3 clean sheets and 3.298 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Tello, 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 25, top 21% of the 54 full-backs in the Primera A. At 24 Tello is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.7, Tello carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera A (top 21%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — 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 (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
