Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

Aderlan is a 35-year-old full-back at Sport Recife, rated 15 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 395th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aderlan.

Judged on this season alone, Aderlan graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 69th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 1 clean sheet and 3.124 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 69th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 35 Aderlan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Aderlan missed 7 games through injury (knee, hamstring, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15, Aderlan carries the 69th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th 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 (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
