Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

J. Correa is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Botafogo, rated 28.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 295th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Correa.

Judged on this season alone, Correa graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances (0.197 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 46th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Correa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Correa missed 5 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • 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 28.8, Correa carries the 46th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
