Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

L. Insigne is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Pescara, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 3 assists in 13 appearances, a Season grade of 21, top 81% of Serie B centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.3, ranking 144th of 145 in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (27.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.76 goal contributions per 90 (0.47 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Insigne.

Judged on this season alone, Insigne graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 21 of the 21 centre-forwards in the Serie B, on 5 goals and 3 assists in 13 appearances (0.759 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 21st of 21 of the 21 centre-forwards in the Serie B. At 35 Insigne is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 13 appearances (0.38 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.62 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.76 goal contributions per 90 (0.47 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 13.3, Insigne carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie B of 21 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.76 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
