Output in context · Napoli finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.9, Buongiorno carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 33%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
