Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 34 → 40). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 29th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Freitas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 24.6 reflects that trajectory.
Freitas is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41.4, Freitas carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 31, Freitas sits on 24.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Freitas's projected Rating — 41.4 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.
