Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

Romarinho is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 21.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 345th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romarinho.

Judged on this season alone, Romarinho graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 26 appearances (0.192 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 52nd of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 32 Romarinho is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 26 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • 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 21.9, Romarinho carries the 52nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
