Outlook

With a Rating of 27, Díaz carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 81 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
