Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

João Reis is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Portimonense, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 40 appearances, a Season grade of 10, top 88% of Segunda Liga defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9, ranking 104th of 108 in the Segunda Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (19.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Reis.

Judged on this season alone, Reis graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.261 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 8th of 8 of the 8 defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga. At 34 Reis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 40 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 9, Reis carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 8 — though on just 40 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
