The University of Craiova is fighting with Dinamo for the AC Milan footballer: “They give the green light”

The championship leader hardly mattered in the winter mercato. Only one footballer left, Luis Paradelaand no one came.

“We've played more than a classic championship so far in terms of number of matches. It was a very good opportunity to analyze, decant ideas about each. It seems that in the minds of those who lead this team, technical bank, shareholders, the decision was made to continue with the same batch of players.

There are still days to be able to make a transfer, let's see if another one comes or if any footballer will leave. Craiova looked good this season and the conclusions that were drawn are that we can act for the title in this composition”, said Cârțu, at GSP Live.

On time, Cârțu was asked about 3 players courted by Olteni.

• Alexandru Iamandache (forward CS Afumati, 26 years old): “Probably there are still talks. Considering he's in the last 6 months of his contract, I think a deal will come from now.”

Iamandache is one of the best scorers in League 2, with 8 goals in this championship

👉 In the last 6 months of his contract with the Ilfov team, Iamandache has already signed with Craiova University. At the latest, he will join the team in the summer, from July 1, after his contract with CS Afumați is concluded. Or, if the two clubs reach an agreement now, Coelho will be able to rely on Iamandache for the second part of the current season as well.

• Matteo Duțu (AC Milan Futuro central defender, 20): “Duțu is a young and promising footballer. I'm not saying it wouldn't be interesting for the team. It all depends on what the technical bank wants. The coaches, together with Mario Felgueiras, the sports director, give the green light”

• Luquinhas (extreme Santa Clara, 29): “I think he knows Coelho, if the interest is real. Our coach has started to know Romanian football well and knows if the respective player can help us, come and bring added value to the championship. I don't know anything about Luquinhas, because I'm not with them there in Turkey, to participate in the discussions”

Three giants from the Superliga in the footsteps of Matteo Duțu

According to GSP information, CFR Cluj seems to have minimal chances in the race, and the real duel would be between Dinamo and Craiova University.

Matteo was born in Rome to Romanian parents and is part of the new wave of players raised outside the country, co-opted in recent years in Romania's youth national teams.

The 20-year-old stopper has accumulated over 30 selections for the U17-U21 national teams and was part of the team called by Daniel Pancu, the current coach of the CFR, at the last U21 Euro, held in Slovakia, where he did not get any minutes.

In the summer of 2024, Milan signed him from Lazio and he quickly established himself at second team Milan Futuro in Serie D, where he became captain at the start of the current season.

Last summer, Massimiliano Allegri used him in several friendly matches, including against Arsenal (0-1) and Liverpool (2-4), and in the duel with Fiorentina the other day, which ended 1-1, Duțu was on the bench of the first team.
