Coulibaly is a 22-year-old central defender at Stade Brestois 29, rated 70.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 25th of 123 on scout potential in the Ligue 1 and 101st of 1777 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (43.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coulibaly.

Judged on this season alone, Coulibaly graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 25 of the 25 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 4 clean sheets and 2.487 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 18). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.4, Coulibaly carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 16%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
