Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Richard is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Internacional, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Richard.

On the season, Richard graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.787 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 32 Richard is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Richard missed 5 games through injury (hip, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 7 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

4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 18.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
