Scout report
Nélson Monte is a 31-year-old central defender at Almeria, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 364th of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (59.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Monte.
Judged on this season alone, Monte graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 6 clean sheets and 2.922 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 55th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 31 Monte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Almeria finished 3rd of 22 · an upper-table side
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 22) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.4, Monte carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
