A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (89.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Freitas.
Judged on this season alone, Freitas graded 41 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 2.596 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 29th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Freitas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.4 reflects that trajectory.
Freitas is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 41.4, Freitas carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
