Scout report
L. Mazzitelli is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Cagliari, rated 39.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 327th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mazzitelli.
Judged on this season alone, Mazzitelli graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 37 of the 37 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances (0.437 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 35th of 37 of the 37 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Mazzitelli is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mazzitelli missed 10 games through injury (injury, muscle, calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
- Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.1, Mazzitelli carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 37 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
