CFR Clujthrough the voice of the president Iuliu Mureșan, announced that he had clapped hands with a striker who last played in Spain. The statements come shortly after viral images of Louis Munteanu (23 years old) for Christmas, in the FCSB jersey.
There is no peace during the Holidays at CFR Cluj. With financial arrears and a delicate sporting situation, the club has to manage the situation of Munteanu, who announced at the beginning of December that he no longer wants to stay in Gruia.
Iuliu Mureșan announces: “We brought an 18-year-old striker, who played in Spain”
The striker Mureșan is talking about would represent the first transfer of the winter carried out by Romanian Cup winner Betano. Transylvania also want to bring at least two players, a central midfielder and a central defender.
“We will be making transfers this winter. We are close to finalizing a midfielder to replace Emerllahu. We have brought in an 18-year-old striker who has played in Spain. We will announce him. We are about to bring in another central defender. We don't have to bring many players, because the squad is big anyway.
Training cannot be done with so many players. We need to thin out the lot numerically, but not in terms of value. This is what we are dealing with these days”, said Mureșan, according to digisport.ro.
It remains to be seen whether the 18-year-old forward will represent a basic solution for Daniel Pancu, or his arrival represents an alternative for the future.
Here are the strikers registered at CFR Cluj at the moment:
-
Louis Munteanu
-
Mohamed Badamosi
-
Islam Slimani
Transylvania are looking for reinforcements to grab a play-off position. The team coached by Daniel Pancu is only in 11th place, with 26 points after 21 stages. In the first stage of 2025, Oțelul Galați, occupying the last play-off position, will receive a visit.
