Quickly, the heaven of the business. The huge amount of commissions paid by Dan Șucu to players agents
Rapid stands on a mountain of money, but the results are late. Of all the clubs in Superliga, the Giulestii paid the big sum of the impressions, for the transfers made. Dan Șucu has invested massively in the players, in order to create a competitive lot, to fight in conquering the title or to take part in the European Cups. If the first desire is impossible this season, the patron of the cherries still hope for the second, although the chances are quite small.

The alarm signal was pulled by Florin Manea, the most in vogue Romanian impresario at the present time, due to the transfer of Radu Drăgușin to Genoa to Tottenham. He received a commission of about 5 million euros following the transaction from the beginning of last year, but even so, it was amazed by the fact that the quickists spent 800,000 euros on the commissions of the players agents, money with which the salaries of two top players would have paid.
“I saw the statements of expenses published by Mr. Șucu last year. He gave 800,000 euros only commissions, I find something incredible. They have a higher salary budget than FCSB. You have to make the difference between expenses and what you produce. Well, FCSB has a big budget, but has qualified in Europe, has produced. We did not take anything, but we spend “, said Florin Manea, supporter of the Rapid, for Digisport.
Many coaches, many claims
The Sports Gazette prepared a ranking of the expenses of the impressions clubs, in the financial year 2024, and the results are eloquent. The Giulesti are seconded leaders, the amount spent being greater than the next two ranked in one place, CFR Cluj and Craiova University. The reason why the amount is so big is that at Rapid a lot of coaches were perished – Cristiano Bergodi, Bogdan Lobonț, Neill Lennon and Marius Șumudică, each with his claims in the field of players and restructuring. The shareholders of the club also complied, making successive transfers and bringing the footballers requested by each, by default paying fat commissions.
