  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, 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 20.8, Sasso carries the 59th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
