“We have had discussions and we will continue to have them. We are in discussions with some players, I cannot call them negotiations. We need to improve the team, first of all numerically, because we are not very many. But we will not make big changes. If 2-3 players come, that's enough.
on departure, the club knows what I want, what we talked about. We will see. There are contracts in the middle, I don't get involved.
But radical, massive changes, as they may have been in the past years, will not happen, for the simple fact that I do not need them. We know our place, position, financial side. There is no need to exaggerate.
If an offer comes in for anyone, the club will know how to handle it. If it will be good for everyone, there would be no problem. We have to adapt, from my point of view there would be no problem [să plece]”, Mihalcea transmitted on the show “DigiSport Matinal”.
