Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

S. Lung is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Universitatea Craiova, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 5 appearances, a Season grade of 6. On long-term scout potential he's rated 2.9. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (12.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lung.

On the season, Lung graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets across 5 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 3. At 37 Lung is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

2 clean sheets in 5 appearances (40% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 2.9 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
