On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.7, ranking 357th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (59.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kannemann.

Judged on this season alone, Kannemann graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 3.549 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 58th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 35 Kannemann is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kannemann missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (hip, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 20.7, Kannemann carries the 58th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
