On long-term scout potential he's rated 27.8, ranking 361st of 389 in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (71.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bartra.

Judged on this season alone, Bartra graded 43 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 6 clean sheets and 4.4 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 43). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 70th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 35 Bartra is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bartra missed 7 games through injury (heel, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.8, Bartra carries the 70th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
