Akinsola, an option if Rapid accepts the offer for Petrila
Akinsola is one of the options that Rapid has at its disposal to replace Claudiu Petrila, in the event that the extreme left will go to the United Arab Emirates.
GSP exclusively informed that there is an offer of 3 million euros for Petrila, from Golf, on the table of the people of Giulești, so the player taken from CFR Cluj could leave Romania this winter.
Quickly solved a transfer so far
So far, Rapid has made only one transfer. It is about Daniel Paraschiv, taken on loan from Real Oviedo. Giulești also have a permanent transfer option that they can activate in the summer.
Rapid is also interested in Tzionis, the attacking midfielder from UTA, who could arrive in Giulesti in exchange for 300,000 euros plus Claudiu Micovschi, who would return to the Arada team.
Rapid is also working behind the scenes on the transfer of Robert Sălceanu, the left back from Petrolul. The Prahov team is asking for 500,000 euros. This is an option in case Andrei Borza goes abroad.
