Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 43 → 25). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 57th of 66 of the 66 defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 33 Zuculini is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Racing Club finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.48 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 15.7, Zuculini carries the 57th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
