On long-term scout potential he's rated 34.7, ranking 341st of 388 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (76.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gagliardini.

Judged on this season alone, Gagliardini graded 42 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 5.686 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 42). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 50th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Gagliardini is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gagliardini missed 6 games through injury (injury, yellow cards, shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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.

Clean sheets

5.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

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 34.7, Gagliardini carries the 50th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th 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 (5.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
