A compact, positionally intelligent centre-midfielder who reads the game well and rarely gets caught in transition; his press is organized rather than aggressive, and he'll win the ball back through anticipation more than physicality. He's a capable ball-carrier in short, safe sequences and understands when to shift play laterally, but he lacks the range or creativity to truly dominate possession in the half-spaces or drive through lines with authority. At 26, having spent his peak years at Valencia in La Liga, a move to the Croatian league suggests a player managing expectations rather than ascending—solid, reliable, but not the type to unlock a midfield or impose himself on better opposition.
