Duje Ćaleta-Car Scout Report

In the heart of Lyon's defence, Duje Ćaleta-Car emerges as a robust centre-back at 28, bringing a blend of timely ball retention and aerial prowess. His calmness on the ball is evident in his standout pass accuracy and top-tier ball retention, placing him comfortably among the Ligue 1 elite in these areas. His ability to win aerial duels is notably impressive, indicating a commanding presence during set pieces and defensive scrambles, which makes him a formidable figure in the air. However, Ćaleta-Car's defensive game reveals areas needing attention; his low duel win percentage and alarmingly high frequency of yellow cards hint at potential recklessness when tackling. Although he spends much of his time in the defensive third, his interception and recovery metrics are surprisingly low, suggesting a need for sharper anticipation or tackling. His style of play favours controlled possession, limiting his offensive contributions, but his stronger passing statistics mean he rarely loses the ball under pressure. Despite these challenges, his experience and aerial strength will remain crucial assets for Lyon as Ćaleta-Car navigates the complexities of top-flight football.
