Experienced headGoal-getting Winger

Neymar is a 34-year-old winger at Santos, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 3 assists in 11 appearances, a Season grade of 77, top 2% of Serie A wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 28.1, ranking 281st of 311 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (88.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.85 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neymar.

Judged on this season alone, Neymar graded 77 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 43 wingers in the Serie A, on 6 goals and 3 assists in 11 appearances (0.847 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 77). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 40th of 43 of the 43 wingers in the Serie A. At 34 Neymar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

6 goals in 11 appearances (0.55 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.82 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.85 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 28.1, Neymar carries the 40th-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 43 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.85 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
