On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 25th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Liga I. At 29 Codrea is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.9, Codrea carries the 25th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga I of 36. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 29, Codrea sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Codrea's projected Rating — 20.9 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.
