M. Folorunsho is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Cagliari, rated 59.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 237th of 385 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (84.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Folorunsho.
Judged on this season alone, Folorunsho graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.679 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 41st of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Folorunsho is in his prime years, and a market index of 61.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Folorunsho missed 9 games through injury (knee, muscle) 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 59.2, Folorunsho carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th 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 light defensive volume (1.68 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.

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 (~102), then tapers with age. At 28, Folorunsho sits on 61.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Folorunsho's projected Rating — 59.2 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.
