The player who can cover both lanes, the position of offensive and top midfielder has arrived in Romania and will sign for a year and a half with Rapid, after passing the medical visit. This year, he scored two goals in 4 matches in the Brazilian second division.
Angelescu said that this is the last transfer of the winter to Rapid and he believes that Gâlcă can no longer declare himself dissatisfied with the team, as he did in December, after the last match of last year, 1-2 with FCSB.
Victor Angelescu: “I paid for Talisson. It's the last transfer of the winter”
“A 23-year-old Brazilian player who can play anywhere in the lane, and behind the top, including as a forward. He's been wanted for a long time, we've been in negotiations for about two weeks. We reached an agreement and it arrived in the country. Being Brazilian, it will take us 3 weeks or a month for him to be able to play, he is Brazilian and has no other passport.
I paid a small amount for the transfer. The people from the scouting department watched him, Costel also watched, he liked it, and we decided to take him. He is a right-footed player.
We have no more negotiations for this period. I brought Talisson because we sold Micovschi and Rareș Pop, who are playing on the bench. Permanent transfer, one and a half years plus option to extend.
He is versatile, he can also play 10, and extreme right, about these two positions he played. It will depend on Costel. Costel decides whether he will play elsewhere,” said Victor Angelescu, according to Prima Sport 1.

Talisson joined Rapid from Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian second division. He also played for tapirense U20, Batistense, Bragantino U20, Ceará SC, Criciúma, Atlético-GO.
Angelescu: “I don't think he can be dissatisfied with the Costel lot”
Moruțan does not need a period of accommodation, but needs to catch up, because he has not played in the starting line-up lately. If he will not have medical problems, he can be one of the most important players in Romania. He did additional tests and they came out very well. He needs rhythm, he is also very good from a physical point of view, but in football you have to play.
I don't think he can be unhappy with the Costel team, we brought players, we are happy with this transfer period, we hope they will prove it.
