On long-term scout potential he's rated 22.9, ranking 260th of 343 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (53.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carballo.
Judged on this season alone, Carballo graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.555 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 17th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Carballo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gremio finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.9, Carballo carries the 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 20, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Gremio finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
