Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vesga.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 33 Vesga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Athletic Club finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 23 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 14.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 17.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
