Dante is a 42-year-old central defender at Nice, rated 12.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 335th of 337 in the Ligue 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (44.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dante.
Judged on this season alone, Dante graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1, on 2 clean sheets and 2.516 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 54th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Ligue 1. At 42 Dante is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dante missed 13 games through injury (knee, injury, injured doubtful) out of roughly 36 this season. The 13 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 12.5, Dante carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 1 of 54 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 42, Dante sits on 3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dante's projected Rating — 12.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
