Without a goal at the end of the season, Rapid has already started preparations for the new season, in the context in which many unknowns are testing the management of Giulești. The “cherries” will change the coach, the president, the sports director, but the lot will also be modified so that in the next season the team will fight for the title.
Throughout this edition, the structure of the band has constantly changed. Neil Lennon had his own claims, Marius Șumudică also asked for players when he accepted the proposal to take over the bank, and the winter mercato brought new completions, without success.
How quickly wants to reform the lot of players
All the changes in the band have contributed to the creation of an oversized lot to Rapid, with various options, although their yield was too low in relation to the expectations of the shareholders Dan Șucu and Victor Angelescu.
Beyond the transferred foreign players to raise the level, the Giulesti did not give up the idea of raising young people with great potential, to later use by possible profitable sales. In reality, however, they have received little chance of evolving.
For the new season, the management plans to temporarily give up several perspective footballers, to give them the chance to grow.
From the information of the Sports Gazette, Robert Bădescu, Cătălin Vultura, Claudiu Micovschi and Rareș Pop have very high chances of being borrowed, but under special conditions. More precisely, the imposition of minimum minutes of play, respectively number of games, so that they do not become the “prisoners” of the reserve banks.

The case of Cătălin Vulturar
The formation near the Grant Bridge had, since winter, discussions with several clubs in Superliga who were interested in the regimentation of the players who will represent the future of the team.
Cătălin Vultura (21 years old) was about to be temporarily transferred, in January, until the end of the season, to give more the possibility to evolve more than was used by Marius Șumudică.
UTA, his former club, was interested, but the move failed when he learned that Rapid requests a minimum game time for the defensive midfielder.
