Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 38 → 43). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 22nd of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the Pro League. At 35 Koulibaly is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al-Hilal Saudi FC finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 16.4, Koulibaly carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 22 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
