Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Jorginho is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Flamengo, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 1 assists in 18 appearances, a Season grade of 27, top 35% of Serie A defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.1, ranking 370th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (43.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jorginho.

Judged on this season alone, Jorginho graded 27 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.846 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 52nd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 34 Jorginho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jorginho missed 3 games through injury (thigh, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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

2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.2% 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 19.1, Jorginho carries the 52nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
