A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (37.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Montoro.
Judged on this season alone, Montoro graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 3.14 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 32).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 2% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 19 Montoro is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 27.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Montoro missed 10 games through injury (international duty, injury, yellow cards) 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.
A career still climbing — Montoro is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.57 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.3, Montoro carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
