Player Analysis: Domenico Berardi

Domenico Berardi has arguably been one of the most exciting players Italy has produced in the last decade or so. Despite a period in his career when he was struggling with injuries, the 27-year-old has become a talisman for provincial club Sassuolo since it first played in Serie A back in 2013/14.

Although Juventus had a 50 percent share in the right-winger until 2015 and the likes of AC Milan, Inter, Liverpool, and Barcelona have been linked with Berardi in the past, he has remained loyal to the club from the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy.

The 2021/22 Serie A campaign has been another impressive one for Berardi from an individual perspective. In 24 league matches so far, he has scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists. 

These statistics put him alongside the likes of Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah as the only players in Europe’s Top Five leagues to have scored at least 10 goals and supplied 10 assists this season.
