In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (41.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.32 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lino.

Goals / app

4 goals in 21 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.43 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.32 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.98 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.4, Lino carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A (top 20%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
