Denis Drăguș (26 years old) has been very difficult to accept the move to EyupSpor, its new club. The attacker of the national team of Romania would not have wanted to leave Trabzonspor, although his post of holder had become uncertain. Decisive was the advice received from Mircea Lucescu, at the last action of “tricolors”.
Two days ago, the Istanbul band presented Drăguș after obtaining the agreement for the loan. “I am very happy. The interest shown to me and the effort made for this transfer to be made have played an important role in my decision to be here,” was the statement of the offensive profile.
The footballer listed at 3.5 million euros has ensured that it is the first option on the team from 6th in Superliga, in the previous season. From the information gsp.ro, he refused a first offer until he received assurances that it is the first option for the team attack.
Denis Drăguș's discussion with Mircea Lucescu, decisive
Mircea Lucescu did not hide in the qualification campaign at the 2026 World Championship that the players he has at his disposal do not evolve as much as they should be in the club teams, so that their yield is higher under the “tricolor”.
The situation of Denis Drăguș, more reserve than the holder in Trabzonspor, was always a topical one, among others.
To one of the sessions prior to the party with Cyprus, “Il Luce” advised the national striker to find a team for which to really counteven temporarily, as it would help him to meet in shape, including for the future matches of the first representative of Romania, he supports authorized sources.
50.7It is the average of the minutes played per match by Denis Drăguș in the Turkish championship, last season. Scored twice and offered a decisive pass.
3goals scored in the national team's shirt in the last year
It is not the only case that Lucescu considered, as a priority in the preliminary perspective. He also had multiple discussions with Dennis Man, Ianis Hagi, but also Valentin Mihăilă, the last one recently transferred to Turkey, to Rizespor.
EyupSpor is a strong team that has successfully fought on the ground before. In this new phase of my career, I am eager to fight for the success of Ikas EyupSpor and to meet the club's goals.

Ianis Hagi's situation gives a headache and she
The midfielder of the national team of Romania has not yet found his team, after the expiration of the contract with Rangers. At one point, several formations in Europe were following in its footsteps, but the signals of a transfer are delayed.
Borussia Monchengladbach, Legia Warsaw are the latest possible destinations for Ianis Hagi. His situation worries the staff of the national team, as the son of the “king” missed a good part of the preseazon preparation.
I do not want to hurry, because I want to be inspired and careful at the time of the decision. I hope to start with the next season. To find the club and the coach next to which I can develop further. To play at my maximum capacity.
I am aware of what I can do on the field and my growth potential. I have a lot to learn, I have not reached my maximum level yet. I would like to talk for a while, to tell you that I managed what I proposed, and my 20-25 years work has paid off.
