Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 41). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 40th of 62 of the 62 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Henrique is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.7, Henrique carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 62, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Corinthians finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
