Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

G. Borrelli is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Cagliari, rated 65.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 196th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Borrelli.

Judged on this season alone, Borrelli graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 5 goals and 1 assist in 27 appearances (0.424 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 31). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 26th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 26 Borrelli is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Borrelli missed 9 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 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

5 goals in 27 appearances (0.19 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.9, Borrelli carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
