Scout report
R. Cáceres is a 34-year-old full-back at Vitoria, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 23, top 57% of Serie A full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.1, ranking 367th of 421 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cáceres.
Judged on this season alone, Cáceres graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Serie A, on 6 clean sheets and 2.496 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 23). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 58th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the Serie A. At 34 Cáceres is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cáceres missed 8 games through injury (thigh, muscle, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.
Cáceres is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Vitoria finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.1, Cáceres carries the 58th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 61, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vitoria finished 15th 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 (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
