Clean sheets

2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.9, Barreto carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 23. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 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.
