Andrei Nicolescu, the president of Dinamo, spoke about the possibility of Antoine Baroan, the football player from Rapid who was involved in the disgrace of Giulești, to reach the red-and-white team.
The official of the “dogs” conveyed the fact that no discussions have been started, but also the fact that coach Zeljko Kopic likes Antoine Baroan, as the two worked together at Botev Plovdid. In the group from Bulgaria, in the 13 matches under the command of Zeljko Kopic, he scored 10 goals and provided two decisive assists.
Zeljko Kopic likes Antoine Baroan. Andrei Nicolescu: “It is an option for him”
“Baroan is an option for Kopic. Yes, yes. We don't know what the conditions are. We didn't go there. We didn't initiate the talks. We don't know what Baroan wants. He probably came to Romania just to relaunch himself. On the other hand, he had some high claims for our championship. I don't know what he thinks. For Kopic, Baroan is an option because he worked with him and he knows,” Andrei Nicolescu said on the Fotbal Show show from Prima Sport.
Baroan was excluded from the Rapid team due to indiscipline during training. There is no way back, and the footballer will leave the formation from Giulesti. Brought in as a great promise to fans of the band from Grant, Antoine Baroan did not live up to expectations. 15 matches, 2 goals and a decisive pass ticked off the Frenchman. It is quoted by specialized websites at 600,000 euros.
Any player who does not understand which club he is at and does not respect the club's values as we expect, has no business at Rapid. Baroan is an important player, but he had a certain behavior. I think he will realize that he needs to change some part of his behavior. If not, Rapid cannot stay like that
