Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 52). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 46th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 32 Azzi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Azzi is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Monza finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 35, Azzi carries the 46th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
