Scout report
João Mário is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Bologna, rated 61 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mário.
Judged on this season alone, Mário graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.679 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 37th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Mário is in his prime years, and a market index of 37.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
