Goals / app

7 goals in 36 appearances (0.19 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.9, Portanova carries the 12th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie B (top 36%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Reggiana finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
