Scout report
M. Festa is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Mantova, rated 16.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 376th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (47.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Festa.
Judged on this season alone, Festa graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 27 of the 27 goalkeepers in the Serie B, on 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 26th of 27 of the 27 goalkeepers in the Serie B. At 34 Festa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Mantova finished 9th of 20 · a mid-table side
4 clean sheets in 18 appearances (22% of games).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.9, Festa carries the 26th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie B of 27. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
