Nuno Mendes is a 24-year-old full-back at Paris Saint Germain, rated 82.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 32nd of 324 in the Ligue 1. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (55.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mendes.
Judged on this season alone, Mendes graded 46 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1, on 7 clean sheets and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 46). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 83, top 9% of the 61 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 24 Mendes is in his prime years, and a market index of 133.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mendes missed 9 games through injury (thigh, knee, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 82.5, Mendes carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 9%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 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 (~134), then tapers with age. At 24, Mendes sits on 133.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mendes's projected Rating — 82.5 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.
