Scout report
M. Thorsby is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Genoa, rated 39.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 322nd of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (42.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thorsby.
Judged on this season alone, Thorsby graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.217 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 55th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Thorsby is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Genoa finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.7, Thorsby carries the 55th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Genoa finished 16th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
