Eugen Neagoe, the coach of the The oil Ploiesti, announced that a player will arrive at the team tomorrow, who GSP found out to be Nana Boateng. The technician also said that he is waiting for a striker, and the “yellow wolves” have on the list, among others, Islam Slimani (37 years old), the striker of CFR Cluj.
There are three strikers on the list from Ploiești, and one of them is Islam Slimani, the footballer from CFR Cluj. The group from Gruia would like to get rid of the top of the attack, especially because they are covered in the post, with Alibek in great form and Luka Zahovic, newly arrived at the wish of coach Daniel Pancu.
Islam Slimani, on the list of those from Petrolul Ploiești: the “yellow wolves” are discussing with three attackers

“The Yellow Wolves” are negotiating with three attackers at the moment, and the first one to agree will close the situation with that one. One of them is Islam Slimani, a player who joined CFR Cluj in the summer.
The Algerian forward came to the Romanian championship to get minutes that would propel him into the circuit of his national team for the World Championship in 2026. This did not happen: Slimani caught just 359 minutes in 11 games and scored just one goal.
Although he signed in the summer, Islam Slimani has entered the last 6 months of his contract. The Algerian is paid 8,500 euros per month in Gruia and arrived at CFR as a free agent.

Forwards from the Petrol team: Adrian Chică-Roșă, David Ilie, Raul Bucur

Islam Slimani has an impressive resume. He played for teams like Sporting, Leicester, Newcastle, Fenerbahce, AS Monaco, Lyon, Brest, Anderlecht, Coritiba, Mechelen. Before CFR Cluj, he was registered at Belouizdad, in his native country, from where he was loaned to Westerlo.
Of course I want more solutions, they will surely come. We will probably have a new player in training tomorrow, it will probably be a surprise for everyone. We hope that in the next few days a striker will come that we are still discussing. Some problems with the documents, but we hope they come as quickly as possible
