Scout report
Nenê is a 45-year-old attacking midfielder at Botafogo, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 30, top 78% of Serie A attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.3, ranking 305th of 311 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (46.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.35 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nenê.
Judged on this season alone, Nenê graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 18 of the 18 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances (0.608 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 20). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 17th of 18 of the 18 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 45 Nenê is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Botafogo finished 11th of 20 · a mid-table side
3 goals in 25 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0.78 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 45, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.3, Nenê carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 18. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
