Scout report
A. Dossena is a 27-year-old central defender at Cagliari, rated 56.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 254th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (43.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dossena.
Judged on this season alone, Dossena graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 3.546 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 18). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 33rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Dossena is in his prime years, and a market index of 35 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dossena missed 16 games through injury (knee, jumpers knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.5, Dossena carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 52 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
