His defensive output reads 3.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Magnani.

On the season, Magnani graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 5 clean sheets and 3.796 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% 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

Rated 26 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
