On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 35 Valente is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Leixoes finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
1 goal in 23 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
