A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (65.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duarte.
Judged on this season alone, Duarte graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 9 clean sheets and 2.248 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 33). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 46th of 86 of the 86 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Duarte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Duarte missed 8 games through injury (injury, inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).
