Malcom Edjoaum (28 years old), the player exiled by Gigi Becali, has no chance of reaching FC Botosani, after Valeriu Iftime (65 years old), the owner of the Moldovans, announced that he is no longer interested in his services.
The decision of the Botosani official was taken after seeing Aldair Ferreira (27 years old) at work in the draw on Monday evening, between Dinamo and FC Botosani, ended without goals scored, score 0-0.
Lately, Edjoua's name has been related to a possible transfer to the superliga, after he has no chance of evolving at the Romanian champion. UTA. Oil and FC Botosani were the teams that were written that it could be the future destination for the player who still has a contract with the red-blue group until the end of this year.
Malcom Edjoaum, refused by FC Botosani
A few days ago, The owner of Moldovans was interested by a possible repatriation of Malcom Edjoaa to FC Botosani, but in the meantime he has changed and is no longer interested in this move.
“Edjouma remains a closed chapter, as it played last night (no-Dinamo-FC Botosani 0-0) my aldair, it is difficult to think I was looking for a replacement. There are three players on that post, so at that moment I do not bring it.
If he comes to me, Edjoa does not come to break his bone, he comes to find a warm place. That's why I'm afraid, many don't understand that. It is hard as a player who comes from FCSB, somehow taken out of that game, to recover very quickly, to play, “said Valeriu Iftime, quoted by Sport.ro.
Malcom Edjoa
The Edjouma track is not closed, now I do not know if Edjoua wants to come to me. It was a discussion with him … by the way, I have something to do now, but then I hope to do for 30 minutes to talk to Leo Grozavu about Edjoa.
It was a discussion, yes, but so far I had Albu in the middle there, the post was blocked. Leaving Albu, a footballer like Edjoaum, with a waist, as Grozavu wants, we might like it. I repeat, but to understand myself with him for money. Although Mr. Becali told me he would be willing to give some money to the player only to come to Edjoa to me
