Scout report
Lucas Veríssimo is a 31-year-old central defender at Santos, rated 33.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 331 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (65.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Veríssimo.
Judged on this season alone, Veríssimo graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 2.967 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 25). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 38th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Veríssimo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Veríssimo is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Santos finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.7% 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 33.2, Veríssimo carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 61 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
