Clean sheets

3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 10) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.5% 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 34.7, Galešić carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the HNL (top 28%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
