Unai Núñez is a 29-year-old central defender at Hellas Verona, rated 48.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 291st of 385 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (66.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Núñez.
Judged on this season alone, Núñez graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 4.269 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 39th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 29 Núñez is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Núñez missed 4 games through injury (muscle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 48.1, Núñez carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 51, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~83), then tapers with age. At 29, Núñez sits on 45.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Núñez's projected Rating — 48.1 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.
