Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Hernani is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Monza, rated 25.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 336th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernani.

Judged on this season alone, Hernani graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Serie B, on 6 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances (0.553 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 29th of 34 of the 34 attacking midfielders in the Serie B. At 32 Hernani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hernani missed 3 games through injury (sprained ankle, ankle) out of roughly 42 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.

Goals / app

6 goals in 22 appearances (0.27 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 2 assists for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 25.5, Hernani carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie B of 34. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
