On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.8, ranking 387th of 388 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (42.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Acerbi.

Judged on this season alone, Acerbi graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 2.855 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 63rd of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 38 Acerbi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, 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 13.8, Acerbi carries the 63rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
