Scout report
Thiago Maia is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Internacional, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 222nd of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (61.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maia.
Judged on this season alone, Maia graded 31 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.283 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 34th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Maia is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Internacional finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.5, Maia carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Internacional finished 16th 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 (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
