Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

Andreas Pereira is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Palmeiras, rated 35 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 265th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.

Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.599 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 38th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Pereira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35, Pereira carries the 38th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
