Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

Hernani is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Parma, rated 19.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 335th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernani.

Judged on this season alone, Hernani graded 1 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.609 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 29th of 34 of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Serie B. At 32 Hernani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hernani missed 3 games through injury (sprained ankle, ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 4 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 19.4, Hernani carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie B of 34 — though on just 4 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
