Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 86th of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 36 Portillo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 22) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 21, Portillo carries the 86th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 91, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Huesca finished 20th of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
