On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.8, ranking 136th of 145 in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (46.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pucino.
Judged on this season alone, Pucino graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie B, on 4 clean sheets and 4.056 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 36th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 35 Pucino is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Bari finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 15.8, Pucino carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 37, 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. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
