An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (62% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coulibaly.

Judged on this season alone, Coulibaly graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 4 clean sheets and 2.487 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 25). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, top 28% of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 22 Coulibaly is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 41.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Coulibaly missed 10 games through injury (calf, leg, thigh) out of roughly 34 this season. The 16 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

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74.3, Coulibaly carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 28%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
