Scout report
Lucas Silva is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Cruzeiro, rated 18.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 284th of 311 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.
Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 61st of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.407 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 59th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Silva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cruzeiro finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 18.1, Silva carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 65 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
