Scout report
Richardson is a 34-year-old central midfielder at Ceara, rated 13.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 401st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Richardson.
Judged on this season alone, Richardson graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.84 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 7). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 61st of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 34 Richardson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Richardson missed 6 games through injury (heel, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ceara finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.6% 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 13.8, Richardson carries the 61st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
