Clean sheets

4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.9, Medina carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 7%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
