Luciano Juba is a 26-year-old full-back at Bahia, rated 71.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 11th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (93.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Juba.

Judged on this season alone, Juba graded 45 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 12% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 11 clean sheets and 2.732 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 39 → 45). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 6% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Juba is in his prime years, and a market index of 36 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Juba missed 3 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 35 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.
