Clean sheets

2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.6, Vitinho carries the 25th-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 (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
