A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (54.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barreca.
Judged on this season alone, Barreca graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.111 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 62nd of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 31 Barreca is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.9% 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 29.2, Barreca carries the 62nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
