Marcelo Grohe is a 39-year-old goalkeeper at Al Shabab, rated 17.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (97.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grohe.

On the season, Grohe graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

7 clean sheets in 33 appearances (21% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.1 overall — below regular-starter level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
