Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

Ó. Romero is a 34-year-old central midfielder at Internacional, rated 12.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romero.

On the season, Romero graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.152 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 34 Romero is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Romero missed 6 games through injury (hamstring, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.

Clean sheets

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
