Florinel Coman (28), left winger, could leave Al Gharafa in the summer. One of the possible destinations would be FCSB, where he wanted to return in the winter.
According to Cosmin Contra, who trains in Qatar, at Al Arabi, the reduction of places for foreign players in the Qatari championship is taken into account. Thus, Coman could be put on the transfer list.
The former FCSB player arrived at Al Gharafa two years ago. The Qataris paid 6 million euros, 5 clauses and one penalty for not paying the money on time.
Florinel Coman could leave Qatar. Cosmin Contra: “There is information that the number of foreigners could be reduced here”
“I have not spoken to Florinel Coman. It is not yet known what will be next year, what will be the rules regarding foreign players.
There are some reports that the number of foreigners may be reduced here in Qatar. Nothing is known yet. Much depends on what will be established for the new season”, said Cosmin Contra, according to digisport.ro.
In the winter, Florinel Coman talked with Becali about a return to FCSB
If he leaves Al Gharafa in the summer, Coman could return to FCSB. In the winter, he discussed with the team boss, Gigi Becali, for a comeback, but the Qataris then refused to let him in Romania.
“Those over there said that they only leave him in Qatar. The Government pays there, as it were. They leave him on loan to another team, but only in Qatar,” Gigi Becali said in December.
Meanwhile, with the escalating conflict in the Middle East, Coman may be forced out of Qatar. “His personal situation doesn't suit him”said Becali about Florinel's case, in the winter, before Iran's attacks on Doha.
Coman's situation is similar to that of Florin Tănase, who after two years in Gulf, at Al Jazira and Al Akhdoud, returned to FCSB in 2024.
Coman, more reserve at Al Gharafa
This season, the second in Qatar, Florinel Coman is a reserve at Al Gharafa and generally enters the end of the match. With Al Shahaniya, score 1-1, on April 27, he played 4 minutes.
With Al Wakra, score 3-3, checked 9 minutes. And with Al Duhail, on April 4, he played for half an hour. The situation at the Qatari club removed Coman from the national team, where he has not been called up for a year and a half.
Coman has 15 appearances and one goal this season in the league. He scored two goals in the Cup. In total, Florinel played 44 matches for Al Gharafa, scoring 6 goals and providing 9 assists.
