Scout report
Clayton is a 26-year-old central defender at Internacional, rated 50 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 165th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clayton.
Judged on this season alone, Clayton graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 3.707 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 37% of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Clayton is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Internacional finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50, Clayton carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
