Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leite.
Judged on this season alone, Leite graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.929 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 37% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 27 Leite is in his prime years, and a market index of 106.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Leite missed 7 games through injury (muscle, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances.
With a Rating of 64.1, Leite carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 37%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~106), then tapers with age. At 27, Leite sits on 106.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Leite's projected Rating — 64.1 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.
