On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.1, ranking 370th of 397 in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (51.9% of available minutes).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 49th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 34 Izzo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 19.1, Izzo carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 52. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
