The veteran Brazilian operates as Al-Najma's bronze-tier squad_player, steadily building his body of work. After spells in Italy and Mexico, the 32-year-old brings a wealth of international experience to the pitch, acting as a highly dependable option whenever called upon by the manager to reinforce the defensive line.

Maintaining a consistent level across his 270 minutes of action, the defender has operated largely under the radar. Earning the GHOST badge points to his quiet nature in matches, occasionally fading to the periphery while letting the play develop naturally. Yet, when he does get involved, his distribution is remarkably precise, unlocking the METRONOME badge for his careful, risk-free ball retention. Across an emerging sample size of three full appearances, his surprisingly high Dribbling rating stands out the most. He shows an unexpected calmness when carrying the ball out of tight defensive areas, evading pressure with subtle movements. Though he has yet to register a goal or an assist, his underlying metrics paint a picture of an error-free professional executing specific tactical instructions without complaint.

Holding a stable market value of €2M, the veteran remains a highly pragmatic asset. As he settles into his environment, his focus is firmly on providing reliable depth and ensuring the tactical setup remains completely balanced whenever his number is called.
