L. Vignali is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Spezia, rated 29.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 321st of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (43.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vignali.

Judged on this season alone, Vignali graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.24 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 61st of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 30 Vignali is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.9% 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 29.8, Vignali carries the 61st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Spezia finished 19th 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 (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
