Output in context · Santos finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
5 goals in 20 appearances (0.25 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.8, Barreal carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 18, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Santos finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
