Fabrício Bruno is a 30-year-old central defender at Cruzeiro, rated 42.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 183rd of 356 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (76.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.19 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bruno.

Judged on this season alone, Bruno graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 5 clean sheets and 2.192 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 61 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 26th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 30 Bruno is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.3, Bruno carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
