On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.9, ranking 394th of 438 in the Primera A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (46.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gordillo.
Judged on this season alone, Gordillo graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 29 of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Primera A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.665 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 13). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 29th of 29 of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 34 Gordillo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 6.9, Gordillo carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
