Scout report
M. Prati is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Cagliari, rated 76.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A and 208th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (63.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Prati.
Judged on this season alone, Prati graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.23 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 30). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, top 22% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 22 Prati is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 45.2 reflects that trajectory.
Prati is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 76.9, Prati carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cagliari finished 14th 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 (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
