Clean sheets

1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24, Navarro carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A (top 28%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
