Clean sheets

5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 15.2, Mino carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga I of 24. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
