Aarón Martín

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

In a Genoa CFC side sitting 14th in the Serie A standings, Aarón Martín has quietly established himself as one of the league's most reliable left-backs. The 28-year-old Spaniard has been a near-constant presence this season, racking up 1,858 minutes across 23 appearances with remarkable discipline—just one yellow card to his name. Operating as an overlapping full-back, Martín has contributed directly to six goals, finding the net once and providing five assists, an impressive attacking return for a defender. His €6.5 million market value reflects his consistency and experience. While teammates like Morten Frendrup and Vitinha may grab headlines, Martín's pace and recovery ability provide the defensive backbone that allows Genoa's attack to flourish. With only one goal and disciplinary issues almost nonexistent, he's proving to be the steady hand the Grifone need as they navigate the mid-table scrap.
