The evaluation of David Nérez is still a ‘question mark’.
Area Napoli, which delivers the news of Naples, said on the 11th (Korea time), “Brazilian soccer expert Sabatino Durante gave an evaluation of Neres.”
Born in 1997, Brazilian striker Nérez was the next generation of Ajax and the Brazilian national team. Growing up in Sao Paulo, his country’s national team, he wore the Ajax uniform through the 2016-17 winter transfer market and began to draw attention by exploding his potential as of the 2017-18 season. He also led his team to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League as a key player in the 2018-19 season, which was a sensation under Erik ten Hag. The final record for the 2018-19 season was 12 goals and 15 assists in 50 games.
But that was the high point. It began to fall completely as of the second half of the 2019-20 season. After suffering a knee injury in the second half of the season, he was relegated to full bench resources and eventually had to leave Ajax through the winter transfer window of the 2021-22 season. His destination was Shakhtar. 스포츠토토
Neres left Shakhtar for the first time in his career in Ukraine after six months without playing a single game due to the Ukraine-Russia war. His destination is Benfica. Having become the mainstay of his team at the same time as his transfer, he made a comeback by scoring 12 goals and 16 assists in 48 matches, and in the 2023-24 season, his second year, he also secured a stable settlement in Portugal by scoring five goals and 10 assists in 35 matches. He joined Napoli through the transfer market this summer, and has scored one goal and three assists in 10 matches so far.
His performance on the Italian stage is not satisfactory. According to the media, Durante told “Kiss Keith Napoli” that although he has shown many possibilities and qualifications, he needs to reduce his ups and downs. If he improves such areas, he will become the alter ego of Khvitsa Kvaratshelia.
