Scout report
Lucas Kal is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 28.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 297th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kal.
Judged on this season alone, Kal graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.276 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 42nd of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Kal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sport Recife finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.7, Kal carries the 42nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
