João Moutinho, born 8 September 1986 (age 40), is a Portuguese central defensive midfielder with SC Braga. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he has never needed much room to look tidy on the ball.
His most productive league season came at Sporting CP in 2009-10, when he scored six goals in 28 appearances. That remains the obvious attacking peak in a career otherwise shaped more by control and reliability than by headline numbers.
In 2026-27, he has made six Liga Portugal appearances for SC Braga. His market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Moutinho’s career has been that of an experienced Portuguese midfielder: established early at Sporting CP, still involved at Braga, and more functional than flashy in the later stretch.
