Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barboza.
Judged on this season alone, Barboza graded 53 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 67 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 10 clean sheets and 3.484 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 48 → 53). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 40th of 67 of the 67 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Barboza is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Barboza missed 7 games through injury (yellow cards, knee, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 24 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.
With a Rating of 37.7, Barboza carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 67. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× 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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 31, Barboza sits on 13.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Barboza's projected Rating — 37.7 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.
