And on Tuesday, the first formation interested in his services appeared, and negotiations are already advanced. It is Spezia, 18th in Serie B, according to the Italian publication Il Secolo XIX.
Horațiu Moldovan, towards Spezia after Oviedo showed him the door
The experience in Oviedo was forgettable for the Moldovan, a goalkeeper who wore the Spanish jersey in only one Cup match. After six months in which he was more of a reserve, Horațiu is ready for a new experience in Serie B, as happened last season.
The difference lies in the fact that the Moldovan managed promotion with Sassuolo, while the objective of those from Spezia is to avoid relegation.
“Horatiu Moldovan is the main option for Spezia's goal. The Romanian goalkeeper is in pole position for the starting position if he signs the contract.
In the last hours, the Italian club tried to reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid. The Moldovan is currently on loan at Real Oviedo, and the acceptance for his departure would have already come from there.
So far, Moldovan has scored only one match, in the King's Cup, which is why the breakup is imminent. The negotiations aim at a loan with an option to buy, part of the salary to be borne by Atletico Madrid”, note the Italians.
Horațiu Moldovan has a contract with Atletico Madrid until 2027, which pays him an annual salary of one million euros.
Spezia is currently 18th in Serie B with 14 points after 17 matches, 2 behind Entella, the team above the “quicksands”.
Throughout his career, the Moldovan played for several teams in Romania, including CFR Cluj, Hermannstadt, Energeticianul, Ripensia Timișoara, UTA Arad, Sepsi or Rapid.
