Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Navarro.
Judged on this season alone, Navarro graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 4.629 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 35). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 85, top 7% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 21 Navarro is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 140.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Navarro missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Navarro is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 85.1, Navarro carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga (top 7%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~157), then tapers with age. At 21, Navarro sits on 140.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Navarro's projected Rating — 85.1 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.
