Matheus Pereira is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Cruzeiro, rated 49.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 187th of 427 in the Serie A.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.
Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 46 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 7 goals and 7 assists in 34 appearances (0.446 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 46). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 26th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Pereira is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 32.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pereira missed 4 games through injury (yellow cards, inactive, rest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
7 goals in 34 appearances (0.21 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 14 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).
With a Rating of 49.2, Pereira carries the 26th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~65), then tapers with age. At 30, Pereira sits on 32.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pereira's projected Rating — 49.2 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.
