Scout report
Ronaldo is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Internacional, rated 36.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 259th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ronaldo.
Judged on this season alone, Ronaldo graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 5.451 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 36th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Ronaldo is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ronaldo missed 10 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Internacional finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 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. 5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.2, Ronaldo carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
