Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 44 → 43). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 28th of 33 of the 33 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 32 Berardi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.1 reflects that trajectory.

8 goals in 26 appearances (0.31 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.46 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.6% 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 34.2, Berardi carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 33. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
