An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nieling.
Judged on this season alone, Nieling graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 29 of the 29 centre-backs in the Serie B, on 1 clean sheet and 3.286 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 53 → 0). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 35% of the 29 centre-backs in the Serie B. At 23 Nieling is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 23.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Nieling is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Modena finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.4, Nieling carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie B of 29 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
