Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 48). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 53rd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Malinovskyi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Malinovskyi missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 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.
A career still climbing — Malinovskyi is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Genoa finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 31.3, Malinovskyi carries the 53rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, 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 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
