Scout report
L. Magnino is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Empoli, rated 38 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 62nd of 115 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (49.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Magnino.
Judged on this season alone, Magnino graded 27 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 9 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 2.721 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 27). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 6th of 9 of the 9 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 29 Magnino is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Empoli finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38, Magnino carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 9, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Empoli finished 15th 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 (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
