There are three goalkeepers among the top 10 Italian performers in Serie A so far, while Federico Dimarco has been the best Azzurri player in the league so far.
Three goalkeepers among to 10 Italy players in Serie A
The Inter defender is a regular in Gennaro Gattuso’s Italy team that will be facing Northern Ireland in the World Cup playoff semifinal in March 2026.
Quite worryingly for Italy, the top-10 Italian performers from week 1 to 16 include three goalkeepers, Lecce’s Wladimiro Falcone (2nd) Cagliari’s Elia Caprile (3rd) and Lazio’s Ivan Provedel (10th).
The lack of eligible Serie A players in the Italy national team is a matter of concern that both Gattuso and FIGC President Gabriele Gravina have highlighted multiple times, but, as the ranking you see below suggests, the options are further reduced when it comes to outfield players.
Surely, one emerging talent in the opening games of the season is Cagliari’s Marco Palestra, who is on loan from Atalanta and features in the top five performers so far.
