In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alexandre.

Judged on this season alone, Alexandre graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 4.587 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.9, Alexandre carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
