LIBERATO CACACE
Midfielder · Wrexham · Championship
“Disciplined fullback who keeps New Zealand's left edge honest.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
L. Cacace offers value as a full back still moving toward his peak, with his best recent work at Empoli. He is not an automatic starter, and the league level tempers the price.

Analysis overview
L. Cacace reads like a steady fullback: compact in his positioning, quick to shuffle across, and tidy when the game opens up in front of him. He gives New Zealand an outlet by stepping on at the right moments, but his first instinct is always to lock in defensively, protect space, and keep the shape clean.
