Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 65.8, Castañeda carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 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.

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 (~70), then tapers with age. At 21, Castañeda sits on 62.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Castañeda's projected Rating — 65.8 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.
