Iker Bravo Scout Report At Udinese 2025/2026: Can The La Masia Talent Become The Next Serie A Breakout Star? – Player Analysis

Iker Bravo is a Spanish striker who plays for Udinese in Serie A and is becoming a reliable player within Kosta Runjaićs team.

Bravo was formed at La Masia of Barcelona and was then transferred to Bayer Leverkusen, where he played with the U17 and U19 teams.

In 2022, he was loaned out to Real Madrid B team until the end of the 2023/2024 season to be signed by Udinese.

Bravo’s move to Udinese last season did not cause much fuss, as the player is not very well known and his abilities were not yet confirmed at a big team.

Moreover, Lorenzo Luccas presence at Udinese attracted the attention of Bravo, as Lucca’s presence and impact were more noticeable and impactful overall.

Bravo had played alongside and behind Lucca at Udinese and was able to make the difference on a number of occasions.

Still, he was not totally reliable as a main striker in the presence of a more confirmed one like Lucca.

With Lucca’s departure during this latest transfer window, Bravo is finally getting the chance to showcase his abilities.

Relying on him will be pivotal this season, given that there is no bigger name to rely on attacking-wise.

In this Iker Bravo player analysis and scout report on the Spanish striker, we will explore the players finishing attributes, focusing on how he can become a more crucial finisher and why he is not yet attracting a lot of attention within Serie A.

The analysis will also study how to use him in the best possible way by identifying which roles he can interpret convincingly.

Iker Bravo Style Of Play

Bravo is a striker with limited experience at the top level, as Udinese was the first team he played for in one of the top European leagues.

His past experience mainly includes youth teams and Real Madrid’s B team.

Therefore, it was very logical for him to get some time for adaptation last season while waiting for his breakthrough as soon as possible.

What is positive with Bravo for now is that he played in 29 Serie A matches last season and was reliable despite being a newcomer.

That said, his goalscoring numbers were not that great, as he only scored two goals and provided one assist throughout the season.

But as mentioned above, it was understandable and expected for a player at his age and with his lack of experience to spend the first season in Serie A learning and adapting to the new playing style.

Bravo is a player who copes well with various attacking positions, including the second striker, the main striker, the left winger, the right winger and the advanced playmaker behind the striker.

He has already been used in all of these positions, but he is more comfortable with the striker or behind-the-striker roles.

Those roles keep him closer to the opposing goal, where he can perform better and be more valuable.

According to his performances in the first season in Serie A, Bravo still has a lot to prove from a goal contribution standpoint, as this should be his breakthrough in this aspect.

In fact, Bravo has previously shown that he possesses the shooting techniques and finishing quality needed to score many more goals per season, while also providing more assists, as his passing is not bad at all.
