With the arrival of Daniel Pancu at the helm of the Ardeal team, things took a different turn, and the team managed to catch the play-off and fight for the first places in the championship. However, certain footballers did not get any minutes during this whole period, and in the summer they are considering a departure from Gruia.
CFR Cluj is going through a good period compared to the beginning of the season, but not everyone is satisfied with the team's situation. In the summer, a general cleaning follows, and several footballers will pack their bags for the Balkan space or other destinations, such as Italy.
Summer departures are already being prepared. Three footballers can take the step abroad from CFR Cluj
Andres Sfait (20 years old), the left wing of CFR Cluj, could not control his nerves in the first half of the duel with Petrolul Ploiești, from round number 13 of the Super League.
Gazeta Sporturilor learned that Andres Sfait can leave CFR Cluj. The young footballer did not have a remarkable season, being most of the time a reserve under the command of Daniel Pancu.
However, the Italian junior matters, and he has been proposed to several teams in Serie B and Serie C, who are currently seriously considering his move.
At CFR Cluj, Sfait played in 15 matches in all competitions in the current season and did not have any success. He came to Gruia in the previous season and won the Romanian Cup with Cluj. Even so, he has not been able to get his name on the scorers list so far.

In addition, there are extremely high chances that, in the summer, CFR Cluj will also part with two other footballers. Rion Zejnullahu and Ilija Masic would leave the team during the summer transfer window.
The two still have a contract until 2027, but the situation was not rosy at all. Zejnullahu played only one match in the Romanian Cup for CFR Cluj, and Masic only played two matches in the championship. If all the details are settled in the summer, the players would make the move to another team in the Balkans.
Rion Zejnullahu is on his second experience in Gruia, but the chances he received this time are also very few, so a departure could bring him more benefits, such as playing minutes.
