Scout report
Wendell is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Sao Paulo, rated 19.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 363rd of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (39.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wendell.
Judged on this season alone, Wendell graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.147 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 55th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Wendell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wendell missed 14 games through injury (injury, heel, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sao Paulo finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 19.7, Wendell carries the 55th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
