Rafael Navarro is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Colorado Rapids, rated 42.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (95.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Navarro.
Judged on this season alone, Navarro graded 46 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 112 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 12 goals and 3 assists in 31 appearances (0.505 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 46 → 46). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 9% of the 112 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Navarro is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Navarro missed 3 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 31 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.
12 goals in 31 appearances (0.39 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (11th of 15), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.48 per appearance).
With a Rating of 42.7, Navarro carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.51 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 26, Navarro sits on 22.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Navarro's projected Rating — 42.7 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.
