All Serie A standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Serie A: on the pitch for 89% of Botafogo's available minutes this season, up from 22% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Kaio Pantaleão is a 31-year-old central defender at Botafogo, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 11 appearances, a Season grade of 44, top 44% of Serie A centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 36, ranking 229th of 328 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (76.2% 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 44 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets and 2.906 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 28 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 42nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Pantaleão is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Pantaleão is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 36, Pantaleão carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 64 — 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). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
