Output in context · Red Bull Salzburg finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 7 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.3, Diakité carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 8%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
