On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 31 Santos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santos missed 20 games through injury (hip, muscle, flu) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Rated 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~36), then tapers with age. At 31, Santos sits on 16, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 26.9 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.
