Scout report
D. Zapata is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Torino, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 1 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 19, top 76% of Serie A centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.9, ranking 383rd of 388 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (36.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.08 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zapata.
Judged on this season alone, Zapata graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.32 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 49th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 35 Zapata is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Zapata missed 4 games through injury (thigh, muscle) 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 18.9, Zapata carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
