Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nestor.
Judged on this season alone, Nestor graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 69 of the 69 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 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 24% of the 69 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Nestor is in his prime years, and a market index of 81.8 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.
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.
With a Rating of 62, Nestor carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 69 — 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.

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 (~82), then tapers with age. At 25, Nestor sits on 81.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Nestor's projected Rating — 62 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.
