On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.1, ranking 420th of 421 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (21.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gil.
Judged on this season alone, Gil graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 79th of 86 of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 3.311 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 86th of 86 of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 39 Gil is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gil missed 3 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Santos finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, 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 7.1, Gil carries the 86th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 86 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
