On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.1, ranking 314th of 356 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (42.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.84 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.23 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neymar.

Judged on this season alone, Neymar graded 37 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 46 wingers in the Serie A, on 8 goals and 3 assists in 14 appearances (0.835 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 41st of 46 of the 46 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 4.5 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

8 goals in 14 appearances (0.57 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.79 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.84 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 19.1, Neymar carries the 41st-highest potential of the wingers in the Serie A of 46 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.84 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
