Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Livan Burcu is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Union Berlin, rated 73.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 100th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga and 262nd of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27% of available minutes). He brings 0.28 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burcu.

Judged on this season alone, Burcu graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.275 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, 24th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 21 Burcu is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 39.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Burcu missed 7 games through injury (ankle, sprained ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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.

1 goal in 18 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 73.9, Burcu carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 58 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions 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.
