Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central defender

A. Ferrari is a 32-year-old central defender at Sampdoria, rated 19.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 127th of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ferrari.

Judged on this season alone, Ferrari graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie B, on 2 clean sheets and 4.141 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 34th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 32 Ferrari is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.3, Ferrari carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 37 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
