UTA will be able to regiment players again after FIFA has lifted the prohibition to transfer by 2027, received a week ago. From the newspaper information, the Arad club paid the debt to Ravy Tsouka (30 years), legitimized for a season, worth 40,000 euros, the equivalent of five outstanding salaries.
The Congolese defender with French citizenship refused, in the spring of last year, to train, being unpaid, which is why he was taken out of the team by Mircea Rednic, the former technician of the “old lady”.
Even so, UTA didn't get rid of it. No less than nine players who activated last season and left the band acted at the Supreme Football Forum to recover the remuneration.
UTA escaped the prohibition on transfers
Immediately after applying the restriction to transfer for the next three periods of Mercato, UTA announced two new moves, those of Croatian stop Marko Stolnik (29 years old), which has evolved in Arad in the 2023-2024 season, respectively Richard Odada (24 years), Kenyan with Serbian passport.
As a result of the payment of the debts, the two will be at the disposal of Adrian Mihalcea for the match in the 12th round of Superliga, scheduled on Monday, at 20:30, with FC Botosani, away.
The formation on the 7th place will therefore avoid a situation similar to the one in the previous season, when he could not use Harrison, Dusaut and Danciu in the match with Farul, January, because the prohibition on transfers was not raised in time by FIFA.
In mid -August, UTA came into a preventive agreement, the last step before insolvency, which involves rescheduling debts.

CFR Cluj and, more recently, FC Botosani also received the same embargo from the forum based in Zurich

The problems are just beginning. Another 9 players ask for their rights
UTA is preparing for everything that is worse. Three weeks ago, GSP.ro wrote exclusively about the wave of memoirs deposited at FIFA by the former foreign players from FIFA.
Under the protection of anonymity, the players who left this summer from Aradi discussed with FIFPRO on this subject and revealed that they were not paid in the use of five months of contract, while others complained that they had not been remunerated since October 2024.
Among them would be Ghezali, Vulethh, Joao Pedro and Mabea.
Răzvan Zăvăleanu, the representative of the judicial administrator who contributed to the exit of Dinamo from insolvency, manages the financial problems of the club. His company has been involved so far at CFR Cluj, ASA Târgu Mureș and Gaz Metan Mediaș.
