On long-term scout potential he's rated 27, ranking 220th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (78.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.38 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kılınç.

Judged on this season alone, Kılınç graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 1 goal and 5 assists in 16 appearances (0.452 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 42nd of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 31 Kılınç is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kılınç missed 18 games through injury (inactive, injury, wound) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.38 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 27, Kılınç carries the 42nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig of 58. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
