Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

P. Masini is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Genoa, rated 66.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 189th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (43% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 6.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Masini.

Judged on this season alone, Masini graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 6.352 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 25). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 26th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Masini is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

6.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.9, Masini carries the 26th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, 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. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
