Clean sheets

2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.4, Pereira carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
