Scout report
Ruan is a 31-year-old full-back at Sakaryaspor, rated 13.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 336th of 405 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ruan.
Judged on this season alone, Ruan graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 67 of the 67 full-backs in the 1. Lig, on 1 clean sheet and 1.059 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 7 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 55th of 67 of the 67 full-backs in the 1. Lig. At 31 Ruan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sakaryaspor finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.5% 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 13.9, Ruan carries the 55th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 1. Lig of 67 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
