Scout report
Matheus Henrique is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Cruzeiro, rated 48.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 157th of 324 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (59.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Henrique.
Judged on this season alone, Henrique graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.115 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 39th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 28 Henrique is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cruzeiro finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.8, Henrique carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 71. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
