Scout report
E. Can is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Borussia Dortmund, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 75th of 84 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Can.
Judged on this season alone, Can graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 8 of the 8 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.435 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 8th of 8 of the 8 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 32 Can is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3 goals in 9 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
- Defensive volume. 5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 26.1, Can carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 8 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
