Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

M. Curto is a 27-year-old full-back at Empoli, rated 44.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 249th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Curto.

Judged on this season alone, Curto graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B, on 2 clean sheets and 4.198 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 48th of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B. At 27 Curto is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% 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 44.2, Curto carries the 48th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 75, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Empoli finished 15th 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 solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
