Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

Cauly is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Sao Paulo, rated 32 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 225th of 324 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (53.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cauly.

Judged on this season alone, Cauly graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 38 of the 38 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 15 appearances (0.125 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 24th of 38 of the 38 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 31 Cauly is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.13 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 32, Cauly carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 38 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.13 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
