Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

L. Bittencourt is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Werder Bremen, rated 23.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 311th of 320 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bittencourt.

Judged on this season alone, Bittencourt graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.456 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 60th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 32 Bittencourt is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bittencourt missed 4 games through injury (thigh, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 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

3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 23.5, Bittencourt carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 61 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
