On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 32 Kovačić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 20.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kovačić missed 23 games through injury (heel, achilles tendon problems, achilles tendon) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 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 — Kovačić is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
0 goals in 6 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.
Rated 25.3 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions 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 (~51), then tapers with age. At 32, Kovačić sits on 20.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kovačić's projected Rating — 25.3 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.
