Rafael Garutti (26 years old) is the new central defender of the Union Slobozia. The Ialomițenii formalized the move, through an announcement published on social networks. The move was announced on Saturday by GSP.ro.
Is the transfer with the number 7 it makes Slobozia after saving from relegation. The band now coached by Andrei Prepeliță (39 years) will have the same objective in the next season, especially in the context in which all arrivals indicate that the band “is preparing” for relegation.

Garutti comes from the team that the Ialomițeni defeated at the dam, FC Voluntari. The Brazilian has been legitimized in Romania at CS Mioveni and Corvin and has not played so far at the level of the first league in Romania.
The announcement of the Brazilian legitimacy comes in the context in which Slobozia brought only ordinary players with the matches in Liga 2 or avoiding relegation. Ionuț Gurau, Radu Negru, Andrei Dragu and Vlad Pop have evolved in the Play-out of the League 2 last season with FCU Craiova.
Ronaldo Deaconu fought to avoid retrograde with Nyiregyhaza, a Hungarian band, while Valon Hamiu played at Schaffhausen, a band that relegated to the third step in Switzerland.
Unirea Slobozia saved dramatically from relegation after moving on to FC Voluntari.
There (no – to Slobozia and Metaloglobus) only someone desperate can go. To forgive me. To go under these conditions … Slobozia lost half of the holders. And so it was made up of players refused by other teams, who take players refused. And at Metaloglobus …
You do not play at home, neither in Slobozia, nor at Metaloglobus. It's a big problem. Slobozia saved himself through a miracle, and his miracle called Sepsi's incredible recoil, because otherwise he was not saved.
