In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Royal.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 25). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 27th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Royal is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Flamengo finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.9, Royal carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 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.
