Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

F. Negri is a 31-year-old full-back at San Diego, rated 18.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 425th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Negri.

Judged on this season alone, Negri graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 79th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.363 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 90th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Negri is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Negri missed 3 games through injury (injury, lower-body, head) out of roughly 39 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 18.4, Negri carries the 90th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
