Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

S. Mignolet is a 38-year-old goalkeeper at Club Brugge KV, rated 7.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 66th of 66 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mignolet.

Judged on this season alone, Mignolet graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 13th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 38 Mignolet is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 12 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.3, Mignolet carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League of 13 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
