An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (48.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adamo.

Judged on this season alone, Adamo graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.895 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 19).

Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.8, Adamo carries the 42nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Spezia finished 19th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
