Outlook

With a Rating of 45.4, Couto carries the 10th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 29 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~22), then tapers with age. At 27, Couto sits on 21.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Couto's projected Rating — 45.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
