Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

G. Cano is a 38-year-old centre-forward at Fluminense, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 31, top 38% of Serie A centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 15.8, ranking 388th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (60.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cano.

Judged on this season alone, Cano graded 31 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 6 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances (0.354 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 31). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 48th of 53 of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 38 Cano is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cano missed 10 games through injury (knee, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.

6 goals in 22 appearances (0.27 per game) for an upper-table side.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 38, 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 15.8, Cano carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 53. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
