GoalPost read
Katić remains a prime centre back, with recent sharpness at FC Zurich and his most reliable run at FC Schalke 04. The league level still trims the valuation.

Analysis overview
Katić plays like a centre-back who wants to set the tone early, stepping into duels and attacking the first ball rather than waiting on it. He is most convincing when defending forward, holding a compact line and using his presence to clear space around the box. In possession, his value is in keeping the game simple and stable, recycling cleanly before resetting Croatia’s shape.
