Scout report
S. Lobotka is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Napoli, rated 42.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 305th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lobotka.
Judged on this season alone, Lobotka graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.733 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 46th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Lobotka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lobotka missed 6 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Napoli finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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 42.2, Lobotka carries the 46th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
