Murilo is a 29-year-old central defender at Palmeiras, rated 47 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 185th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (68.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Murilo.
Judged on this season alone, Murilo graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 2.905 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 41 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, 30th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Murilo is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Murilo missed 11 games through injury (hamstring, yellow cards, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Palmeiras finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% 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, Murilo carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
