Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

D. Maldini is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Lazio, rated 71.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 140th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.28 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maldini.

Judged on this season alone, Maldini graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.283 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 37% of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 24 Maldini is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Maldini missed 3 games through injury (thigh, ankle, foot) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 21 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.2, Maldini carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A (top 37%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
