Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 67.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
