Scouting Report & Player Insights

Ball-playing centre-back with a front-foot mentality. Comfortable stepping into midfield to break lines with passes or carries, while defending proactively in space. Combines solid aerial timing with assertive dueling, though occasional over-commitment can appear when pressing high.

Developed in Argentina before moving to Europe as a teenager, adapting quickly to a higher-tempo game.

Has been used in both back-three and back-four structures, showing comfort defending larger spaces behind the line.
