Ionuț Panțiru (29 years old), former footballer of the FCSB who currently plays at CS Tunarirevealed how much he earns at the second league team.
The footballer said that he experienced a drastic salary drop after leaving the red-blue team. Panțiru left FCSB in January 2025 and arrived at FC Voluntari.
Later he signed with CS Tunari and reported that he receives 1,500 euros a month, given that Gigi Nețoiu had signed a contract for over 12,000 euros at the formation led by Florin Pîrvu. The manager left and the footballer claims he was forced to terminate.
Ionuț Panțiru revealed the drastic salary drop: “You look at salaries from outside and at League 1 salaries from us”
The former footballer claims that if he stays at Voluntari, he would have played for the second team in League 3, being forced to terminate in order for Ilfoven to get rid of the defender's high salary.
“Now I went from a salary of 12,000 euros per month to 1,500 euros. This year I had 12,000 euros per month, and starting next year it would increase to 13,000.
But I had to stay two more years in League 3 to play, because when people want to terminate you they force you through different things. Who would take me after two years of League 3? I had a full account, but the money is still flowing.
Yes, 75 million old lei. This is the country. You're looking at wages from outside and League 1 wages from us. And football is at another level, but I think the differences are too big. From 10 million euros to 300,000 euros per year,” Ionuț Panțiru said, according to prosport.ro.
Ionuț Panţîru arrived at FCSB in 2019. During the 4 years he spent with the red-blue formation, he played in 74 matches, scored 3 times and provided 8 decisive assists, despite the fact that the defender was plagued by injuries. Pantîru also played at CSM Sighet, Miroslava and Poli Iasi. It is quoted by specialized websites at 300,000 euros. Panțiru won two titles with FCSB, a Romanian Cup and a Supercup.
