Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernando.
Judged on this season alone, Hernando graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets and 3.154 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 46th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 28 Hernando is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Racing Santander finished 1st of 22 · a title-challenging side
3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Game time. Only 52.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.2, Hernando carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
