In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (82.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sánchez.
Judged on this season alone, Sánchez graded 39 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 17 full-backs in the La Liga, on 7 clean sheets and 3.769 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 39 → 84). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 18% of the 17 full-backs in the La Liga. At 26 Sánchez is in his prime years, and a market index of 48.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Levante finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72.8, Sánchez carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga (top 18%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Levante finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
