On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, top 27% of the 63 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 24 Saldivia is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.4, Saldivia carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
