Scout report
Thaciano is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Santos, rated 29.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 245th of 324 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (38.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.26 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thaciano.
Judged on this season alone, Thaciano graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 38 of the 38 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances (0.258 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 25th of 38 of the 38 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 31 Thaciano is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 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 · Santos finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 29.8, Thaciano carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 38 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
