M. Salisu is a 27-year-old central defender at Monaco, rated 62.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 194th of 324 in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Salisu.
Judged on this season alone, Salisu graded 38 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 53 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 2 clean sheets and 5.25 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 38). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 30th of 53 of the 53 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 27 Salisu is in his prime years, and a market index of 100.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Salisu missed 17 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, injured doubtful) out of roughly 34 this season. The 12 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 62.2, Salisu carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 53 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~101), then tapers with age. At 27, Salisu sits on 100.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Salisu's projected Rating — 62.2 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.
