Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

S. Romagnoli is a 36-year-old central defender at Empoli, rated 10.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romagnoli.

On the season, Romagnoli graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 0.344 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11. At 36 Romagnoli is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Romagnoli missed 29 games through injury (achilles tendon problems) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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

0.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 10.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
