Bernardo is a 31-year-old full-back at 1899 Hoffenheim, rated 43.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 253rd of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (83.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bernardo.

Judged on this season alone, Bernardo graded 43 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets and 4.698 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 43). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 43rd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 31 Bernardo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 19 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bernardo missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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

4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 83.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 43.3, Bernardo carries the 43rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
