Experienced headCentral defender

D. Rugani is a 32-year-old central defender at Fiorentina, rated 22.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rugani.

On the season, Rugani graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 3.182 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 32 Rugani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.4% 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

Rated 22.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
