Scout report
N. Banegas is a 30-year-old full-back at Independiente, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 366th of 553 on scout potential in the Liga Profesional Argentina. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Banegas.
Judged on this season alone, Banegas graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 84 of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 3 clean sheets and 3.971 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 61st of 84 of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 30 Banegas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Independiente finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.5, Banegas carries the 61st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
