35 games in all competitions shows full availability at 30. The Bundesliga tempo habit is a visible edge in carrying the Superliga-plus-Europe double load.
Style and Assessment
A line-managing, high-discipline profile that steps into the screen role when needed. Nine seasons of Werder usage is the strongest proof of a low-error band. He comes from the Bundesliga aerial school — direct value in the Superliga’s set-piece density.
| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| 242 Bundesliga-level games — proof of level | 30 — no resale value |
| Centre-back + screen dual role | Pace data not separable; wide-space risk grows with age |
| 39 caps, three major-tournament squads |
Fit and Cost
A tournament-tested, dual-position, free-agent signing: the template of a ready solution. The 2028 contract protects Zvezda; a third-club scenario only computes in the €1-1.5m band.
Verdict
The proof of level and dual-role flexibility are real; age 30 ties the file to short-term defensive needs only.
Worth a conversation at €1-1.5m for a club seeking 1-2 years of experience.
