On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 94th of 98 of the 98 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 35 Jara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 10.4, Jara carries the 94th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 98 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
