Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Balerdi.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 29th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 27 Balerdi is in his prime years, and a market index of 42.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Balerdi missed 7 games through injury (muscle, inactive, illness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Marseille finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66, Balerdi carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
