Scout report
M. Pašalić is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Atalanta, rated 41.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 322nd of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (58% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pašalić.
Judged on this season alone, Pašalić graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 1.957 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 48th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Pašalić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Atalanta finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 41.1, Pašalić carries the 48th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
