Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 29). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 30% of the 71 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Nestor is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.3 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Bahia finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59.5, Nestor carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 30%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
