Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

D. Berardi is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Sassuolo, enjoying a standout season — 8 goals and 4 assists in 26 appearances, a Season grade of 43, top 37% of Serie A centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 34.2, ranking 343rd of 388 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (57.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Berardi.

Judged on this season alone, Berardi graded 43 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 8 goals and 4 assists in 26 appearances (0.546 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 44 → 43). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 43rd of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 32 Berardi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Berardi missed 8 games through injury and 2 suspensions (muscle, rest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 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

8 goals in 26 appearances (0.31 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.46 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 34.2, Berardi carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
