Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bernal.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 9).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 13% of the 96 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 22 Bernal is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bernal missed 4 games through injury (thigh, muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.
Bernal is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Fluminense finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.8, Bernal carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
