On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 57th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 38 Rincón is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rincón missed 4 games through injury (calf, suspension) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances.
With a Rating of 8.8, Rincón carries the 57th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 38, Rincón sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rincón's projected Rating — 8.8 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.
