Project playerGoalkeeper

L. Malagón is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Club America, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 26th of 56 on scout potential in the Liga MX. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malagón.

Judged on this season alone, Malagón graded 28 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 6 goalkeepers in the Liga MX, on 8 clean sheets across 25 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 21). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 34% of the 6 goalkeepers in the Liga MX. At 29 Malagón is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

8 clean sheets in 25 appearances (32% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.8, Malagón carries the 2nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Liga MX (top 34%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
