David Neres is a 29-year-old winger at Napoli, rated 53.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 268th of 385 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (54.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neres.
Judged on this season alone, Neres graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 35 wingers in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 16 appearances (0.584 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 24th of 35 of the 35 wingers in the Serie A. At 29 Neres is in his prime years, and a market index of 50.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Neres missed 19 games through injury (ankle, muscle bruise) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 goals in 16 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).
With a Rating of 53.5, Neres carries the 24th-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 35. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~92), then tapers with age. At 29, Neres sits on 50.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Neres's projected Rating — 53.5 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.
