Squad depthGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Rui Modesto is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Udinese, rated 57.7 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (3.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.78 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Modesto.

On the season, Modesto graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 3 appearances (0.776 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 2). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58. At 26 Modesto is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Modesto missed 4 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.78 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.78 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
