Scout report
V. Mantovani is a 30-year-old full-back at Bari, rated 37.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 281st of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (84.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mantovani.
Judged on this season alone, Mantovani graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B, on 4 clean sheets and 2.117 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 59th of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B. At 30 Mantovani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.6 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
2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.6, Mantovani carries the 59th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 75, 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 moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
