Assessment
| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| 1.93 m target frame — a late-game scenario weapon | Goalless for 12 months |
| UCL stage experience + title routine | 219 minutes — effectively out of the rotation |
| Free in December 2026 | 32 — the comeback scenario is weak |
Verdict
The CV carries stage value but current output is zero; no data remains to model a transfer on.
A conversation only for lower-league or niche-market clubs needing a free target man.
