Clean sheets

1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.98 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 39, 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 5, Díaz carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera División of 55. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
