In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bellanova.
Judged on this season alone, Bellanova graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 1.947 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 27th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Bellanova is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bellanova missed 8 games through injury (injury, muscle, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
