Judged on this season alone, Ramalho graded 28 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 6 clean sheets and 3.117 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 28). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 61st of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 34 Ramalho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ramalho missed 4 games through injury (inactive, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 20, Ramalho carries the 61st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
