Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 83.9, Navarro carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga (top 8%). 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.
