Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 53). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 34th of 37 of the 37 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Çalhanoğlu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.3 reflects that trajectory.

  • Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.49 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
