Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on John.
Judged on this season alone, John graded 44 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets across 17 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 70 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 12th of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A. At 30 John is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: John missed 15 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 38 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.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
7 clean sheets in 17 appearances (41% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 75.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.1, John carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 29. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
