Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ceballos.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 35% of the 70 defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 22 Ceballos is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gimnasia M. finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.3% 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 44.8, Ceballos carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 70 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
