Output in context · Palermo finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.6, Bani carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 52. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
