Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Victor Braga is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Al Najma, rated 18.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 104th of 121 on scout potential in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (86.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Braga.

Judged on this season alone, Braga graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 17 of the 17 goalkeepers in the Pro League, on 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 3). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 13th of 17 of the 17 goalkeepers in the Pro League. At 34 Braga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 30 appearances (10% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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 18.9, Braga carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Pro League of 17, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Al Najma finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
