Clean sheets

4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, 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 7.8, Corvalán carries the 97th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 98 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
