Scout report

Rising starCreative Attacking midfielder

Diego Moreira is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Strasbourg, rated 87.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 10th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1 and 41st of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been an ever-present this season (81% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.27 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Moreira.

Judged on this season alone, Moreira graded 43 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 4 goals and 6 assists in 27 appearances (0.441 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 34 → 43). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 87, top 4% of the 51 attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 21 Moreira is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 45.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Moreira missed 6 games through injury (groin, injured doubtful, ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.37 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 87.1, Moreira carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 4%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
