Top of the steals board
The skouted.ai steals board ranks players by deal score, a composite of undervaluation and contract leverage. This morning three players share the joint-lead at 86. One of them is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Union Espanola in Chile whose full name barely fits a team sheet: Bruno Ignacio Jáuregui Sáez.
The engine’s own verdict on him reads: UV score of 99 signals significant undervaluation, the contract expires in 4 months so he is available at a discount, and at 21 years old there is high development upside. Three signals, all green.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| OVR | 70 |
| UV score | 99 |
| Deal score | 86 (joint-highest on the board) |
| Age | 21 |
| Position | CM |
| Market value | €970K – €1.6M |
| Contract | 2026 (4 months remaining) |
| Data confidence | High |
Why he costs under €1.6M
The answer is geography, not quality. Chilean Primera midfielders trade in a market where scouting attention arrives mostly through Argentine and Uruguayan back channels. A 70 OVR at 21 in a top-10 South American league is, by the model’s comparables, worth multiples of his band once he crosses the equator. The high data confidence tag means the engine has enough match data to stand behind the number.
The leverage play
Four months of contract remaining changes everything. Any Chilean club selling now accepts a fraction of true value. Any club waiting until December signs him for nothing beyond compensation. That is the window within the window, and it is why his deal score sits at 86 while flashier names sit in the 60s.
The comp
The well-worn path for young Chilean midfielders is a mid-table European landing spot followed by an exponential value curve once they hit continental competition. Jáuregui’s profile, a two-way central midfielder with high-frequency involvement, matches the template that has moved from Chile to Europe at eight-figure fees within two seasons, repeatedly.
AI Verdict: Strong Buy
Maximum undervaluation, top-of-board deal score, high data confidence, and age on his side. For clubs in the Netherlands, Portugal or Belgium, this is a €1.5M bet with a €15M outcome distribution. Those are the odds recruitment departments exist to find.
