Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 5). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 Nagai is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
0 goals in 6 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
