9 clean sheets in 39 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (17th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 97.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.2, Cerofolini carries the 10th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie B (top 38%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Bari finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~22), then tapers with age. At 27, Cerofolini sits on 21.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cerofolini's projected Rating — 54.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
