On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, top 33% of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 28 Díaz is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 36 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.7, Díaz carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A (top 33%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 28, Díaz sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Díaz's projected Rating — 20.7 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.
