Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 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 32.6, Salas carries the 44th-highest potential of the wingers in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 61. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
