Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central midfielder

Charles is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Corinthians, rated 30.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Charles.

Judged on this season alone, Charles graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 5.176 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 44th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Charles is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Charles missed 4 games through injury and 2 suspensions (knee) 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.

Clean sheets

5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.6, Charles carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
