Clean sheets

2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 85.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.5, Magallán carries the 69th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 101. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 32, Magallán sits on 4.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Magallán's projected Rating — 26.5 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.
