How much does Louis Munteanu cost
Although at the beginning of the season, but also during the last months, Nelu Varga said that he would not accept less than 18 million euros, plus a percentage of a future transfer, CFR Cluj could be forced to accept a smaller amount, considering that the team needs money to get rid of debts.
Thus, Munteanu could have been sold in the summer for an amount around 10 million euros.
So far, the biggest transfer fee paid by DC United was €5.5 million for Christian Benteke in the summer of 2022.
We have offers for two, three players, but I don't want to talk too much because Louis Munteanu was distracted very wrongly and because of the pressure he was out of shape and he is no longer the player he was. I don't want to disturb.
– Iuliu Mureșan, president of CFR Cluj
