Scout report
Igor Silva is a 29-year-old central defender at Lorient, rated 44.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 264th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Silva.
Judged on this season alone, Silva graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 3 clean sheets and 3.017 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 40th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 29 Silva is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Silva missed 4 games through injury (injury, heel) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Outlook
With a Rating of 44.6, Silva carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
