Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bahia.
Judged on this season alone, Bahia graded 37 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 8 clean sheets and 2.829 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 37). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 29% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Bahia is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bahia missed 5 games through injury (inactive, loan agreement, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Ceara finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.5, Bahia carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A (top 29%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ceara finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.83 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
