Career report
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Peak: 2024/25Trending upBreakout: 2024/25StreakyStepped up 2023/24Injury-hit 2025/26
The record covers 4 seasons (2022/23–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 110 appearances with 15 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Benfica — Season rating 62, 3 goals and 1 assist in 32 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 46 points at Benfica. Form is on a climb — up 37 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 9 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 5 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (Primeira Liga) and kept playing — 11 games that season.
