L. Palmiero is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Avellino, rated 36.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 282nd of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palmiero.

Judged on this season alone, Palmiero graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.859 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 26). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 44th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 30 Palmiero is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
