Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

N. Leali is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Genoa, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 368th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (55.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leali.

Judged on this season alone, Leali graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 27th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A. At 33 Leali is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.

5 clean sheets in 22 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 25.3, Leali carries the 27th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Genoa finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
