On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 41st of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Vinicius is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vinicius missed 7 games through injury (injury, back, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45.9, Vinicius carries the 41st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~61), then tapers with age. At 29, Vinicius sits on 33.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vinicius's projected Rating — 45.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
