Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.9, Giay carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A (top 5%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 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.
