On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 41st of 57 of the 57 defensive 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 8.3 reflects that trajectory.
Silva is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Cruzeiro finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 29.8, Silva carries the 41st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
