Scout report
Rodrigo Nestor is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Bahia, rated 62 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nestor.
Judged on this season alone, Nestor graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 5 goals, 0 assists and 2.615 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 20% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Nestor is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Nestor missed 3 games through injury (elbow, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Bahia finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62, Nestor carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
