On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 31st of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the Primeira Liga. At 27 Santos is in his prime years, and a market index of 55.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Santos is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 52.2, Santos carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nacional finished 14th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~55), then tapers with age. At 27, Santos sits on 55.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Santos's projected Rating — 52.2 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.
