An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (88.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Luperto.

Judged on this season alone, Luperto graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A, on 8 clean sheets and 2.506 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 49th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Luperto is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.7, Luperto carries the 49th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th 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 (2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
