JOSIP ŠUTALO
Defender · Lazio · Serie A
“A calm centre-back who breaks lines by carrying the ball.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Šutalo is a prime centre back whose value comes from a still-maturing profile and strong spells at Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb. A discount for league level holds it back, but the underlying case remains firm.

Analysis overview
J. Šutalo plays like a defender who trusts his feet as much as his positioning. From centre-back, he steps out with purpose, carrying possession into space and then protecting it with excellent retention once pressure closes in. The result is a composed, forward-looking defender who helps Croatia move up the pitch without losing control.
