Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

David Neres is a 29-year-old winger at Napoli, rated 53.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 271st of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (54.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neres.

Judged on this season alone, Neres graded 37 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 33 wingers in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 16 appearances (0.584 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 23rd of 33 of the 33 wingers in the Serie A. At 29 Neres is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Neres missed 19 games through injury (ankle, muscle bruise) 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.

Goals / app

3 goals in 16 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Neres carries the 23rd-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 33. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
