Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central defender

Rafael Ramos is a 31-year-old central defender at Ceara, rated 25.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 316th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ramos.

Judged on this season alone, Ramos graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 3 clean sheets and 4.883 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 52nd of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 31 Ramos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 25.6, Ramos carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 68, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ceara finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
