Number two on the entire steals board
The skouted.ai steals board ranks every professional player by deal score, a composite of undervaluation and contract leverage. This morning Renzo Malanca sits second in the world, with a score of 86. The engine’s own reasoning: UV score of 98 signals significant undervaluation, contract expiring in 3 months means availability at a discount, and at 22 years old, high development upside.
Centre-back, 185 cm, 83 kg, right-footed, Argentine, playing weekly in the Chilean Primera División. The whole package costs less than a Premier League academy player’s annual wages.
The numbers
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| OVR | 71 |
| UV score | 98 |
| Deal score | 86 |
| Age | 22 |
| Position | CB |
| Height / weight | 185 cm / 83 kg |
| Market value | €920K – €1.5M |
| Contract | 2026 (3 months) |
| Data confidence | High |
The data confidence tag matters here. A high-confidence 71 at 22 means the model has watched enough of him to stand behind the rating. He is not a highlights illusion built from two clips; he is a season-long performance profile.
The passport is the hidden multiplier
South American defenders are cheap. South American defenders with community passports are not. A 22-year-old Argentine with EU eligibility removes every administrative barrier that makes clubs hesitate on non-European signings: no work-permit points system, no roster restrictions, no waiting period. The video title says it plainly: he is marketed on the passport as much as the defending.
From January, Malanca can sign a pre-contract agreement with any club outside Chile and leave Huachipato for free in the summer. From that moment, his market value stops being €1.5M and starts being an agent bidding war.
Why Huachipato sells
The Chilean champions of 2023 have become a selling machine by necessity. Their model depends on cashing in assets before contracts run down, and a 3-month window with no renewal agreed means the alarm is already ringing. A fee of even €1M in the Chilean offseason, between their two championship halves, is real money for the club.
AI Verdict: Strong Buy
A high-confidence 71 OVR at 22, maximum undervaluation, expiring contract, EU passport, and a position, ball-playing centre-back, that every league in Europe is overpaying for. For clubs in the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium or France, this is one of the cleanest risk-reward profiles on the board.
