Scout report
Y. Mina is a 31-year-old central defender at Cagliari, rated 41.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 320th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (80% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mina.
Judged on this season alone, Mina graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 3.333 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 43rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Mina is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mina missed 7 games through injury and 1 suspension (contusion, thigh, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 41.4, Mina carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 52, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
