Caps & goals this season.
K. Ayhan is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Galatasaray, rated 18.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ayhan.
On the season, Ayhan graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.652 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. At 31 Ayhan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ayhan missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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.
3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 18.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 31, Ayhan sits on 5.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ayhan's projected Rating — 18.8 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.
