Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saelemaekers.
Judged on this season alone, Saelemaekers graded 52 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 3.401 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 52). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 39% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Saelemaekers is in his prime years, and a market index of 120.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Saelemaekers missed 3 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 35 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Saelemaekers is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
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.
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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~120), then tapers with age. At 27, Saelemaekers sits on 120.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Saelemaekers's projected Rating — 69.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
