Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Monte.
Judged on this season alone, Monte graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 78 of the 78 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 6 clean sheets and 2.922 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 52nd of 78 of the 78 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 30 Monte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 21.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 22) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 37.1, Monte carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 78. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~44), then tapers with age. At 30, Monte sits on 21.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Monte's projected Rating — 37.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
