Experienced headGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

M. Benítez is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at America Mineiro, rated 23.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.32 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Benítez.

On the season, Benítez graded 20 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 4 assists in 20 appearances (0.56 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 32 Benítez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 20 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.35 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.32 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 23.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
