Scout report
Alex Telles is a 33-year-old full-back at Botafogo, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 27, top 57% of Serie A full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 23.9, ranking 333rd of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Telles.
Judged on this season alone, Telles graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 2.033 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 27). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 60th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Telles is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.
Telles is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 23.9, Telles carries the 60th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
