Scout report
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 337 on scout potential 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 — a strong campaign that ranks top 16% of the 63 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 8% of the 63 full-backs in the Ligue 1. At 24 Mendes is in his prime years, and a market index of 48.1 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.
Output in context · Paris Saint Germain finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
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.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.65 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 82.5, Mendes carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ligue 1 (top 8%). 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.
