Scout report
M. Frese is a 28-year-old central defender at Hellas Verona, rated 54.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 254th of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (70.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Frese.
Judged on this season alone, Frese graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 74 of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 4.59 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 32). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 48th of 74 of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 28 Frese is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Frese missed 3 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 31 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.
Frese is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.6, Frese carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 74, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
