Luca Băsceanu (19 years old) is officially the new footballer from Craiova University. The midfielder presented through a unique video clip.
Craiova University and Lighthouse had been understood for Luca Băsceanu's transfer from the end of May, but the footballer who played with Romania U19 at the European Championship has been officially presented only now. Mihai Rotaru paid the sum of one million euros to bring him.
VIDEO. Luca Băsceanu was presented by Craiova University: “I can hardly wait to see Oblemenco!”
In the presentation video, Luca Băsceanu appears on the training ground while practicing his executions.
After a few attempts, he takes his bag and goes to the room. He sits on the bed, starts the TV and hears Craiova Gallery. Then he sends them to the Oltenites: “As of today, I fight for Craiova University! I can't wait to see Oblemenco! Force Science!”.
Băsceanu became the 6th player brought by Olteni this summer, after Tudor Băluță, Alexandru Crețu, Samuel Teles, David Matei and Mihnea Rădulescu.
Last season, the left foot offensive midfielder played 13 matches in Superliga, during which time he managed two goals and a decisive pass. It has a market share worth 400,000 euros, according to transfermarkt.com.

Craiovans start the new competition season on July 12, when they will play on the field of UTA Arad.
I liked U19, it was clearly feeling his presence. Contributed to what it meant to return the result with Montenegro. It also entered the last match. He is a player who will mean a lot in Romanian football, if you ask me. Ask Rădoi (no if he will count on Băsceanu). There must be a mix-we are not a club-academia. Our main purpose is to obtain trophies, results, qualification in European cups.
– Mihai Rotaru, on June 26
