M. Darmian is a 36-year-old central defender at Inter, rated 12.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Darmian.

On the season, Darmian graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.561 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
