Typically managed through matches; fades late and is often withdrawn around the hour. (conf 0.5)
Control
Clean receiving on the half-turn, comfortable taking passes into feet under pressure. (conf 0.65)
Skilled inside-cut dribbler off the right flank, beating men toward the box. (conf 0.65)
Slight frame; prefers quick release over holding off physical full-backs. (conf 0.5)

Scouting Report & Player Insights
Rony Lopes is a left-footed Portuguese winger at Tondela who operates off the right flank, cutting inside to combine and shoot from the half-space. A Manchester City academy product, he peaked at Monaco with a prolific Ligue 1 season that earned a big move to Sevilla, but injuries and loan spells stalled his trajectory. Now 30, he offers Liga Portugal quality guile, clean technique and dead-ball ability rather than the explosiveness of his prime.
Came through Manchester City's academy and scored for the first team as a teenager, becoming one of the club's youngest ever goalscorers.
Scored 15 Ligue 1 goals for Monaco in the 2017-18 season, prompting a big-money transfer to Sevilla.
Has had loan spells at clubs including Lille, Nice, Olympiacos and Troyes after leaving Monaco.
