On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 62nd of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 35 Sanganté is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.1, Sanganté carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
