R. Malinovskyi is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Genoa, rated 31.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 347th of 385 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malinovskyi.
Judged on this season alone, Malinovskyi graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 6 goals, 3 assists and 2 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 45). 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 18.8 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
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).

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 (~54), then tapers with age. At 33, Malinovskyi sits on 18.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Malinovskyi's projected Rating — 31.3 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.
