Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

G. Cuéllar is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Gremio, rated 20.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 361st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (43.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuéllar.

Judged on this season alone, Cuéllar graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.4 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 51st of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Cuéllar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cuéllar missed 15 games through injury (muscle, inactive, muscular problems) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.

Clean sheets

4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 20.4, Cuéllar carries the 51st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
