An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sotelo.
Judged on this season alone, Sotelo graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 105 of the 105 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 5.116 defensive actions per 90.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 43rd of 105 of the 105 central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 23 Sotelo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Newells Old Boys finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.1, Sotelo carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 105 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
