Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wendell.
Judged on this season alone, Wendell graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 64 of the 64 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.147 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 52nd of 64 of the 64 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Wendell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wendell missed 14 games through injury (injury, heel, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25, Wendell carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 64 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 32, Wendell sits on 13.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wendell's projected Rating — 25 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.
