Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Y. Mina is a 31-year-old central defender at Cagliari, rated 37.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 161st of 190 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (63% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mina.

Judged on this season alone, Mina graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 3.386 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 33rd of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Mina is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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 37.7, Mina carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th 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 (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
