Victor Angelescu wants Rareș Ilie back at Rapid: “He would like to play here again”
“We will notify Kamara as soon as possible, if everything will be OK with the medical visit. His injury is identical to what Albion Rrahmani had, we sent him to the same doctor, checked him, everything went well. He will do extra exercises for the tendon, but Pancu will have him available quickly. We will rely on him in the training camp. He will be able to play from the beginning of the season.
Daniel (no. Pancu) knows how he will approach the matches, on the left we have Petrila and Talisson, who is injured for a long time. Omar El Sawy returns, who can still play there.
Kamara can also play on the right, Petrila has played some matches as number 10. The idea is to have good players in every position. All the young, loan players are coming back, training and a decision will be made. Pop, Ignat, Ungureanu, El Sawy, all of them.
We would like Rareș Ilie, we will see what happens with Nice, who played the Ligue 1 play-off. We will also discuss with them, to see what they want with the player. Having trained him at U21, he knows him very well. I also have a good relationship with him and his parents. It's a product of the Rapid, it's a rapidist, we want it very much. And he would like to play for Rapid again.

About departures: there are gropings at Dobre, at Petrila, Borza, but nothing concrete. I turned down an offer for another player, not one of these 3. It was too low for the value of the player and I turned it down. It's only the beginning of the campaign, it's clear that we have to make changes in the team. If 5-6 players come, then another 5-6 will leave,” revealed Victor Angelescu at Prima Sport.
