An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cocão.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, top 31% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 24 Cocão is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vasco DA Gama finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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
- Defensive volume. 4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 55.3, Cocão carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
