D. Giraldo is a 34-year-old central midfielder at Juventude, rated 12.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 405th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Giraldo.

Judged on this season alone, Giraldo graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 63rd of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.334 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Giraldo, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 63rd of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 34 Giraldo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.8% 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 12.2, Giraldo carries the 63rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
