Scout report
A. Cistana is a 29-year-old full-back at Bari, rated 42.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 262nd of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (84.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cistana.
Judged on this season alone, Cistana graded 39 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B, on 5 clean sheets and 3.849 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 52nd of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B. At 29 Cistana is in his prime years, and a market index of 14 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Bari finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.3, Cistana carries the 52nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 75, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Bari finished 17th 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 solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
