Caps & goals this season.
A. Szalai is a 28-year-old central defender at Pogon Szczecin, rated 29.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 172nd of 332 in the Ekstraklasa. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (82.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Szalai.
Judged on this season alone, Szalai graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 3 clean sheets and 1.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 39% of the 49 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 28 Szalai is in his prime years, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
With a Rating of 29.3, Szalai carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 49 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 28, Szalai sits on 7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Szalai's projected Rating — 29.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
