Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

G. Letizia is a 36-year-old full-back at Pescara, rated 19.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 124th of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (66.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Letizia.

Judged on this season alone, Letizia graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 11 of the 11 full-backs in the Serie B, on 3 clean sheets and 2.963 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 11th of 11 of the 11 full-backs in the Serie B. At 36 Letizia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, 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 19.6, Letizia carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 11, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pescara finished 20th 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 (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
