Olimpiu Moruțan, 26 years old, is preparing to leave Aris Thessaloniki and is ready to return to Turkey. According to GSP information, he has two offers from the country of the future opponent from the World Cup. The “Ottomans” would offer him half a million per year, he would like 250,000 euros/year more
Olimpiu Moruțan, 26 years old, can leave Aris Thessaloniki in the winter market. The Greeks claim that the Romanian international is no longer in the good graces of Manolo Jimenez. Moreover, Hellenes would like to get rid of him, and the midfielder's agents are looking for his future commitment.

In recent weeks, the idea has been circulated that Moruțan could return to the Superliga. The University of Craiova was indicated as a possible future destination, but the people of Olten denied the interest. And I still do. Nor is Rapid interested in Moruțan, despite such information.
According to GSP.ro information, Moruțan was proposed in Turkey, in the first division. Especially since he has also been active in the Superliga here. “He is on the departure list by Aris, it's clear. He would already have two offers from Turkey of half a million per season. Only he would want 750,000 euros. Especially since he can come free from the contract, he can reach an agreement in this sense with the Greeks”, GSP sources said.

Moruțan arrived at Aris after his experience at Ankaragucu. He came free of contract, but did not catch on in Greece. A fiasco. In half a year he collected 16 matches, without a goal, without an assist. The midfielder played an average of 44 games.
“In the case of Moruțan, things are not clear. Through his agent, he made approaches to teams in Romania and Turkey, but he has a good contract with Aris until 2028 and it remains to be seen if he will find something similar elsewhere. That is if the option of a loan does not take shape. Manolo Jimenez does not rely on him at all, something that was also seen in the first part of the season”, noted the Greeks from Metrosport.
Turkey is not unknown to Transylvanians. He played for Galatasaray and Ankaragucu. Cim Bom acquired him in August 2021 from FCSB for 4.1 million euros. Two years later he was transferred to Ankaragucu for 3 million euros.
