Scout report

In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ortu.
Judged on this season alone, Ortu graded 36 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 9% of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 3.338 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 39 → 36). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 24th of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División. At 27 Ortu is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cadiz finished 18th of 22 · a lower-table side
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 53, Ortu carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 34, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cadiz finished 18th of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
