On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.5, ranking 467th of 481 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (52.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 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 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 39 of the 39 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.4 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 37th of 39 of the 39 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 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

3 goals in 18 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.1 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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 12.5, Pellegrino carries the 37th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 39 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
