N. El Aynaoui is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at AS Roma, rated 73.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 385 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 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st 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 34 → 23). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 34% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Aynaoui is in his prime years, and a market index of 126.1 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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.
With a Rating of 73.3, Aynaoui carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A (top 34%). 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.

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 (~126), then tapers with age. At 25, Aynaoui sits on 126.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Aynaoui's projected Rating — 73.3 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.
