DUJE ĆALETA-CAR
Defender · Sassuolo · Serie A
“A ball-playing centre-back whose composure on the ball defines his game.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
A centre back in his prime, Ćaleta-Car carries value through steady top-level years and strong recent spells at Lyon and Southampton. The price stays restrained because he is not a guaranteed starter and the league context trims it.

Analysis overview
Ćaleta-Car builds play from deep with assured technical control, rarely hurried in possession and comfortable carrying the ball out of tight spaces. His strength lies in retaining possession under pressure, using intelligence and touch to defuse attacking situations and transition play forward. He reads space well defensively and positions himself to intercept rather than react.
