An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (52.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diaz.

Judged on this season alone, Diaz graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 5 clean sheets and 4.327 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71, Diaz carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
