M. Bernauer is a 28-year-old central defender at Saint Etienne, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 325 in the Ligue 2.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bernauer.
Judged on this season alone, Bernauer graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 67 of the 67 centre-backs in the Ligue 2, on 5 clean sheets and 2.536 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 45th of 67 of the 67 centre-backs in the Ligue 2. At 28 Bernauer is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41.5, Bernauer carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 67 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~43), then tapers with age. At 28, Bernauer sits on 25.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bernauer's projected Rating — 41.5 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.
