Project playerGoalkeeper

V. Cojocaru is a 30-year-old goalkeeper at Pogon Szczecin, rated 24.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 218th of 332 on scout potential in the Ekstraklasa. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (90.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cojocaru.

Judged on this season alone, Cojocaru graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Ekstraklasa, on 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 18th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Ekstraklasa. At 30 Cojocaru is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.5, Cojocaru carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ekstraklasa of 26. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
