Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 77.4, Baixauli carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 22%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
