Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Julián is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Antalyaspor, rated 15.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 308th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Julián.

Judged on this season alone, Julián graded 15 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 28 goalkeepers in the Süper Lig, on 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 23rd of 28 of the 28 goalkeepers in the Süper Lig. At 35 Julián is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Julián missed 6 games through injury (lacking match fitness, inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

5 clean sheets in 20 appearances (25% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, 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, Julián carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Süper Lig of 28, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Antalyaspor finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
