Fabrício Bruno is a 30-year-old central defender at Cruzeiro, rated 42.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 178th of 343 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (82.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.08 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 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 62 of the 62 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 2.076 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 61 → 20). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 28th of 62 of the 62 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 10.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 82.6% 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 42.8, Bruno carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 62. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
