Scout report

Solid contributorCentral defender

M. Valjent is a 30-year-old central defender at Mallorca, rated 51.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 263rd of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (99.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Valjent.

Judged on this season alone, Valjent graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 6 clean sheets and 2.421 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 48th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 30 Valjent is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 99.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.1, Valjent carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Mallorca finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
