Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

M. Marin is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Pisa, rated 55.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 260th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (49.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marin.

Judged on this season alone, Marin graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.319 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 39th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Marin is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Marin missed 9 games through injury (injury, health problems, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 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.

Clean sheets

4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.3, Marin carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pisa finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.32 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
