Kaio Pantaleão is a 30-year-old central defender at Botafogo, rated 36.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 260th of 413 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (48.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pantaleão.
Judged on this season alone, Pantaleão graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 67 of the 67 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 2.906 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 43rd of 67 of the 67 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 30 Pantaleão is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pantaleão missed 15 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 11 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.
With a Rating of 36.5, Pantaleão carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 67 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 30, Pantaleão sits on 11, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pantaleão's projected Rating — 36.5 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.
