Squad depthCentre-forward

M. De Luca is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Modena, rated 44 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 252nd of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.19 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Luca.

Judged on this season alone, Luca graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Serie B, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 21 appearances (0.385 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 30th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Serie B. At 28 Luca is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.19 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40% 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 44, Luca carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie B of 58. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
