Scout report

Squad depthCreative Centre-forward

V. Bayo is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Udinese, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.4 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bayo.

On the season, Bayo graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances (0.399 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 29 Bayo is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bayo missed 4 games through injury (international duty, knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.8 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
