Outlook

With a Rating of 15.3, Navas carries the 103rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera Nacional of 139 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× 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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 32, Navas sits on 1.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Navas's projected Rating — 15.3 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.
