Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Vitinho is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Internacional, rated 51.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 153rd of 422 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vitinho.

Judged on this season alone, Vitinho graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 97 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 5 goals, 1 assist and 2.491 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 32). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, top 39% of the 97 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Vitinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vitinho missed 4 games through injury (inactive, elbow) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 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.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.6, Vitinho carries the 37th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 39%), 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 (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
