On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, top 2% of the 72 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 20 Alves is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 88.6 reflects that trajectory.
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 79, Alves carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~104), then tapers with age. At 20, Alves sits on 88.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Alves's projected Rating — 79 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.
