Clean sheets

4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.1/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.2, Lipani carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 33%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
