Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Barák is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Sampdoria, rated 26.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 334th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barák.

Judged on this season alone, Barák graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.049 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 66th of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 31 Barák is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Barák missed 13 games through injury (wound) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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

2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.8% 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 26.4, Barák carries the 66th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
