Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 53rd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League. At 39 Nagatomo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
