Clean sheets

4.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.59 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.89 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 25% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.5, Maik carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
