Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

M. Díaz is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Alaves, rated 16 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Díaz.

On the season, Díaz graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 10 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 33 Díaz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Díaz missed 9 games through injury (coach's decision, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 10 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

0 goals in 10 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
