M. Sabitzer is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Borussia Dortmund, rated 35.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 284th of 325 in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (67.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sabitzer.
Judged on this season alone, Sabitzer graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.717 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 52nd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 32 Sabitzer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 23.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sabitzer missed 4 games through injury (calf, muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 26 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 35.7, Sabitzer carries the 52nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× 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 (~59), then tapers with age. At 32, Sabitzer sits on 23.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sabitzer's projected Rating — 35.7 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.
