Output in context · AC Milan finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.9, Saelemaekers carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
