Scout report

Squad depthWinger

M. Araújo is a 29-year-old winger at Bahia, rated 40.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 232nd of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Araújo.

Judged on this season alone, Araújo graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 16 of the 16 wingers in the Serie A, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 24 appearances (0.516 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 23). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 12th of 16 of the 16 wingers in the Serie A. At 29 Araújo is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Araújo missed 11 games through injury (hamstring, muscle bruise, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 24 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.7, Araújo carries the 12th-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 16 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
