Scout report
Diego is a 31-year-old full-back at Kashiwa Reysol, rated 24.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 81st of 111 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diego.
Judged on this season alone, Diego graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 12 of the 12 full-backs in the J1 League, on 6 clean sheets and 2.706 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 9th of 12 of the 12 full-backs in the J1 League. At 31 Diego is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kashiwa Reysol finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.64 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 24.1, Diego carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 12. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
