Scout report
N. El Aynaoui is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at AS Roma, rated 73.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 113th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (35.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aynaoui.
Judged on this season alone, Aynaoui graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 32% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Aynaoui is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Aynaoui missed 7 games through injury (international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · AS Roma finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.3, Aynaoui carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A (top 32%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
