Sorin Cârțu (69 years old), the honorary president of the University of Craiova, spoke about the summer merchandise period, after the Oltenians wasted this season the chance to win the title in Superliga. With three stages before the end, Craiova can no longer win mathematically, and depending on the result he succeeds with CFR he could make the FCSB champion without the red-blue team playing in round #8 in the play-off.
Cârțu has announced that there will be movements in the summer, in the context in which the contracts of some of the players will reach the end. He also talked about Mitriță's situation, which he says would like to stay on the team, but also about a player to be at his level and manage to shoot, by himself, the team after him.
Sorin Cârțu: “Some players cannot help us meet our great goals”
“There are also players who expire the contract. There are discussions for extension, we see what Mirel wants, what he wants on the team. The start of some negotiations is discussed. It is clear that, from my point of view, the team must be improved, the standard must be raised if we want to take the championship.

Gjoko Zajkov, Alisson Safira, Luis Paradela and Robert Lăpădătescu are the four players who expire the contract with Craiova University on June 30, 2025
I also said: there are some players who cannot help us achieve these big goals, such as winning the championship. We need players with a certain status, with character, with the strength to take advantage of such moments. I do not know what discussions Rotaru has (no about Mitriță's situation li a possible departure to FCSB), but I would like to remain Mitriță and To improve the attack with someone who understands well with it, which will add the team efficiency.
We see how things will evolve. There are some who cannot assume the role of pulling the team after them, replacing Mitriță when blocked. It happened sometimes with Baiaram. You say he is young, but he has no continuity: he makes extraordinary matches, then disappears …
I do not like that there are some who talk too much about him, do not leave him alone, confuse him. There are people around him who argue merits, load him negatively and disable him in important moments, “said Sorin Cârțu, at the show” Digi Sport Special “, from Digi Sport.
It is clear that he has a goal that motivates him, and this is a beneficial thing for us. Our movement is to be with the team. To have a team capable of winning the championship, it is not enough to have only valuable players – you also need a coach who really wants to win the title, which will be an example for the locker and send a strong message to the team. All must be aligned with what he does, the direction and mentality they print
