An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (72.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marsà.

Judged on this season alone, Marsà graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 26 of the 26 centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League, on 6 clean sheets and 3.331 defensive actions per 90.

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, top 27% of the 26 centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League. At 24 Marsà is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.8, Marsà carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 27%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KV Mechelen finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
