An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Abaldo.

1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.1 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.8, Abaldo carries the 16th-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 52 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.1 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
