Judged on this season alone, Díaz graded 47 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 4.667 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 57 → 47). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 44th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 30 Díaz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Díaz missed 8 games through injury (hip, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
