In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (66.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pașcanu.
Judged on this season alone, Pașcanu graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 51 centre-backs in the Liga I, on 8 clean sheets and 3.241 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 26). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, top 26% of the 51 centre-backs in the Liga I. At 27 Pașcanu is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Rapid finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 66.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.6, Pașcanu carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga I (top 26%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rapid finished 5th of 6) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
