Career report
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Nice — Season rating 81, 1 goal and 1 assist in 32 games. 2021/22 was the leap — Season rating up 48 points at Nice. Form has slipped 67 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 67 Season points.
