Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Grassi is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Cremonese, rated 35.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 336th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (59.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grassi.

Judged on this season alone, Grassi graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.284 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 60th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Grassi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Grassi missed 5 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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.

Clean sheets

3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.7, Grassi carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Cremonese finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
