Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

R. Brosco is a 35-year-old central defender at Pescara, rated 16.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 377th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (52.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brosco.

Judged on this season alone, Brosco graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie B, on 3 clean sheets and 2.795 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 14). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 50th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 35 Brosco is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 16.5, Brosco carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 52, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pescara finished 20th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
