Scout report
Unai Elgezabal is a 33-year-old central defender at Levante, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 371st of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (56% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Elgezabal.
Judged on this season alone, Elgezabal graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.537 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 25). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 73rd of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 33 Elgezabal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Elgezabal missed 20 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Levante finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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
With a Rating of 26.1, Elgezabal carries the 73rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
