Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sara.
Judged on this season alone, Sara graded 40 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 5 goals, 4 assists and 2.348 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 28% of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 27 Sara is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sara missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 5 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 44.5, Sara carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig (top 28%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 27, Sara sits on 28.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sara's projected Rating — 44.5 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.
