Scout report
Danilo is a 35-year-old central defender at Flamengo, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 33, top 31% of Serie A centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.6, ranking 358th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (54.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Danilo.
Judged on this season alone, Danilo graded 33 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 1.905 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 59th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 35 Danilo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Danilo missed 8 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring, international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Flamengo finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 20.6, Danilo carries the 59th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
