Domestic-league totals per season. RTG = Field Insider Rating (potential / ceiling); Season = age-blind form that year.
A. Meroni is a 29-year-old central defender at Bari, rated 36.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 289th of 397 in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.58 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meroni.
Judged on this season alone, Meroni graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie B, on 4 clean sheets and 3.58 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 40th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 29 Meroni is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.6, Meroni carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 52, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Bari finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~40), then tapers with age. At 29, Meroni sits on 22.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Meroni's projected Rating — 36.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
