Scout report
L. Belardinelli is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Reggiana, rated 54.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 162nd of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Belardinelli.
Judged on this season alone, Belardinelli graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.245 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 7). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 27th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 25 Belardinelli is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Reggiana finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.25 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.5, Belardinelli carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Reggiana finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
