My Take
Leonardo Balerdi is a centre-back I've watched grow into real authority. An Argentine who left early for Europe, he settled at Marseille in Ligue 1 and earned the captain's responsibility there, which says plenty about how his coaches and teammates trust him. At 187 cm he has the frame you want at the back, but what impresses me more is that he's broken into the Argentina national team setup, no small feat given the talent ahead of him. Born in 1999, he still has his prime ahead, and I think the steadiness he's shown defending in a demanding league points to a player who could anchor a backline for years.
