Andrei Coubiș (22 years old) agreed with U Cluj, as GSP announced yesterdayhas already landed in Antalya and arrived at the hotel in the team's training camp.
The defender brought up by those from AC Milan will arrive in Cluj on loan for 6 months, with an option to buy in the summer. Then Cluj University will deal with Sampdoria for the transfer of the player. Although Coubiș is on loan at Sampdoria, the defender no longer belongs to AC Milan.
Andrei Coubiș arrived in Antalya! The first statements of the footballer secured by U Cluj: “I hope that Mr. Lucescu calls me to the national team!”
Directly from the airport, Coubiș made his first statements.
“It's a very important stage in my career and I hope to help the team and win as much as possible. It wasn't a hard choice, I just came with the idea to play and do it as well as I can, for the team and for me,” Andrei Coubiș said, according to sport.ro.
About the offer from Dinamo, Coubiș said: “That's what they say on the internet, but practically only Cluj was a concrete offer. I want to find my form and win as much as possible”
Andrei Coubiș also spoke about a possible call-up to the national team. In the past it was written that he refused the “national team” to play for Italy, but now it seems that the 22-year-old defender is ready to impress Mircea Lucescu.
“It's just that I was called up to U20 in Italy, I was sent by Milan when it was and that's it. That's how it was! I can still change and play for Romania too. Yes, of course I'm thinking of doing it. One hundred percent. I thought to myself, I have no business. I'm waiting for Mr. Lucescu! I hope they call me to the national team“, Andrei Coubiș said according to the cited source.
Andrei Coubiș did his junior training at AC Milan, the team in the first echelon of Italy. He performed at all age categories, but in the summer he left for Sampdoria after refusing Dinamo. Unfortunately for him, the Serie B adventure was not a success. The footballer did not play a single game for Sampdoria. It is quoted by specialized websites at 100,000 euros.
