On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 5th of 7 of the 7 central midfielders in the Kazakhstan tier 1. At 33 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 7.8, Santos carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Kazakhstan tier 1 of 7 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, Santos sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 7.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
