Scout report
A. Pellegrino is a 36-year-old attacking midfielder at San Diego, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 1 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 15, top 74% of Major League Soccer attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.8, ranking 510th of 525 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (34.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pellegrino.
Judged on this season alone, Pellegrino graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.386 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 45th of 46 of the 46 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 36 Pellegrino is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · San Diego finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.5% 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
With a Rating of 9.8, Pellegrino carries the 45th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 46, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
