Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

Dani García is a 36-year-old central midfielder at Olympiakos Piraeus, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 19, top 50% of Super League 1 central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11, ranking 117th of 127 in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (47.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on García.

Judged on this season alone, García graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Super League 1, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.165 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 26th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 36 García is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 14) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11, García carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 of 26. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
