Alan Franco is São Paulo's Bronze Squad Player, currently building his body of work in the heart of the defense. At 30 years old, the Argentine arrives with experience from Independiente and MLS, providing a reliable rotation option for the manager as he enters his peak years at the club.

Our take is that Franco is hitting top form, showing a significant jump in his recent output compared to his season average. While his overall ability remains stable, his Workrate is the standout dimension, marking him as a specialist who provides constant cover across the backline. With 311 minutes across 4 appearances, he hasn't unlocked specific badges yet, but his trajectory is clearly on an upward curve. He provides high Intensity in duels, ensuring the Stakes of every defensive action are met with absolute focus despite a modest overall rating.

With a market value of €4M and a long-term contract, his financial trend is currently falling, making this a pivotal period to prove his worth. If he maintains this Balance, he could transition from a depth option to a vital starter during the heat of the title race.
