Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62, Aravena carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 53 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 23, Aravena sits on 29.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Aravena's projected Rating — 62 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.
