Scout report
Juninho is a 31-year-old full-back at Internacional, rated 30.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 289th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (51.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Juninho.
Judged on this season alone, Juninho graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 3.885 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 53rd of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Juninho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Juninho missed 5 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Internacional finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 30.1, Juninho carries the 53rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Internacional finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
