In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (68.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sara.
Judged on this season alone, Sara graded 43 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 5 goals, 4 assists and 2.348 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 28 → 43). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 22% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 27 Sara is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sara missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Galatasaray finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 5 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.5, Sara carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig (top 22%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
