Why we like him
If you want upside from a fullback he checks the boxes: Nono arrives off a run of heavy minutes in Japan, registering 77 appearances and 12 goals for Kashima while starting 10 of the club's 11 clean sheets that helped them lift the 2025 J1 title, so he brings genuine clean-sheet upside plus an attacking edge from the right flank. D.C. United have signed him to a multi year deal, but the club note his transfer is pending P-1 visa and international clearance, which is the main availability risk before he can realistically push into the Starting XI. If cleared to play in Montreal on August 15 he profiles as a high ceiling option for shutouts and wing chances given your supplied projection of steady 90-minute usage and a Sorare Edge forecast of 75.1 with low confidence, however treat him as a start only when the club confirms he is in the matchday team, otherwise his floor is capped by paperwork and integration.
