Scout report

Key starterFull-back

F. Medina is a 27-year-old full-back at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 67.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 134th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (88.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Medina.

Judged on this season alone, Medina graded 42 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.507 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 53 → 42). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 39% of the 54 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 27 Medina is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Medina missed 14 games through injury and 1 suspension (ankle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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.

Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.7, Medina carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga (top 39%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 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.
