Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sangaré.
Judged on this season alone, Sangaré graded 62 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 5.067 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 62).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 88, top 2% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 24 Sangaré is in his prime years, and a market index of 142.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sangaré missed 3 games through injury (international duty, hip, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.
A career still climbing — Sangaré is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 87.7, Sangaré carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 2%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~142), then tapers with age. At 24, Sangaré sits on 142.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sangaré's projected Rating — 87.7 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.
