DANTE
Defender · Nice · Ligue 1
“Ball-playing centre-back who controls from the back through progressive carries.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Dante rates very good: a centre back whose output and year-to-year reliability still stand out. The arc is fading and the peak is behind him, but the value remains strong for a veteran defender.

Analysis overview
Dante operates as a left-sided centre-back comfortable stepping into midfield to initiate attacks. His game is built on exceptional retention under pressure and physical authority in his own box—he shields possession intelligently and uses his frame to dominate aerial and ground duels. When building play, he progresses the ball himself rather than distributing sideways, turning defence into a platform for transitions.
