Costel Gâlcă (53 years old), the coach from Rapid, spoke about Kevin Ciubotaru (21), the left defender of le Hermannstadt who is one step away from FCSB.
FCSB reached an agreement with Hermannstadt for the transfer of Kevin Ciubotaru, and now Becali has to shake hands with the player as well. Claudiu Rotar, the financier of the Sibiu team, said that Rapid also wants the defender.
Costel Gâlcă, about Kevin Ciubotaru: “He's an interesting “under” for everyone”
Asked about Rapid's desire to transfer Ciubotaru, Gâlcă said that he appreciates the Sibiu player, but he has Andrei Borza in that position.
“He is an interesting “under” for everyone. He was also in the national team. For now, we have Borza in this position.
It is too early to talk about the fact that Ciubotaru's arrival depends on Borza's departure. He barely came back, he didn't get to go in to play. When he plays more, if he has offers, he will leave”, said Costel Gâlcă.

“Kevin Ciubotaru is wanted by both FCSB and Rapid. We also live from this side, from player sales. We want to produce juniors and sell one or two a year,” Claudiu Rotar declared.
I spoke with Kevin Ciubotaru with the permission of FC Hermannstadt, a month and a half ago. He said he is not ready to talk, let's talk when the first part of the season is over. We haven't discussed anything at all. Now I saw that a lady appeared, who says she is the player's agent.
