On long-term scout potential he's rated 21.4, ranking 350th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (58% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sandro.

Judged on this season alone, Sandro graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 8 clean sheets and 2.358 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 64th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 35 Sandro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sandro missed 8 games through injury (hamstring, thigh, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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

2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 21.4, Sandro carries the 64th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
