Scout report
Matheus Pereira is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Santa Clara, rated 51.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 207th of 336 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.
Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.375 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 53rd of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 25 Pereira is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Santa Clara finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.3, Pereira carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 75 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 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.
