Scout report
M. Locatelli is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Juventus, rated 63.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 217th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (87.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Locatelli.
Judged on this season alone, Locatelli graded 49 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 11% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 4.912 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 45 → 49). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 33rd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Locatelli is in his prime years, and a market index of 30.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Juventus finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.6/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.3, Locatelli carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
