Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

A. Meret is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Napoli, rated 44.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 297th of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meret.

Judged on this season alone, Meret graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A, on 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 85 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 21st of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Serie A. At 29 Meret is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Meret missed 10 games through injury (foot, shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 11 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.

4 clean sheets in 11 appearances (36% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.5, Meret carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 29 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
