Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

L. Orejuela is a 30-year-old full-back at Deportivo Cali, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 316th of 438 on scout potential in the Primera A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Orejuela.

Judged on this season alone, Orejuela graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Primera A, on 3 clean sheets and 2.151 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 54th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Primera A. At 30 Orejuela is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11.8, Orejuela carries the 54th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera A of 63 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
