Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Allan is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Botafogo, rated 14.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 340th of 356 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Allan.

Judged on this season alone, Allan graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.408 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 20th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 35 Allan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.6% 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 14.8, Allan carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 20. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
