Negotiations for Matei Ilie's transfer to Dinamo It is still behind the scenes, after Neluțu Varga agreed to give up from the financial claims for the 22 -year -old stop. The last hour, however, Andrei Nicolescu announces that the requested price is still much more than what “dogs” can afford at this moment
This is even if the “railway” now require 700,000 euros, plus percentage from a possible future transfer, an amount with 300,000 euros lower than The starting point in negotiations two days ago.
UPDATE 8:00. Matei Ilie is still considered too expensive by Dinamo: “We can pay about 450,000 euros.” A strategy of Nicolescu's negotiations?
Matei Ilie is getting closer to Dinamo
Dinamo's president, Andrei Nicolescu, said this evening that the amount required by CFR Cluj for Matei Ilie is still too big for “dogs”.
“There have been discussions, but we are far-the price is too high, compared to what Dinamo aims now and what CFR aims. The Under no longer represented a challenge for us and I hope it will not represent in the future. Our challenge are the Romanian players with very high potential. Those who have already confirmed in Romania have prices that Dinamo can now. About 450,000 euros is the maximum ceiling we fit for each player.
As for bringing other players to Dinamo, until tomorrow evening, by transfer, I think it is very complicated. It is a difficult time, and given the players with whom we tried to close the lot, what we succeeded – we succeeded, what I did not succeed – I did not succeed, “said Nicolescu, according to primasport.ro.
GSP authorized sources claim that Nicolescu is trying to make Varga decrease from the required amount and that Dinamo has not withdrawn from negotiations, as the official statements of the chief of “Stefan cel Mare” would understand.
If he signs with Dinamo, Matei would follow his father's steps, Costel Ilie, who became a champion with Dinamo in 2002 and later worked as a scout for the club in Stefan cel Mare.
The tanks between Dinamo and CFR Cluj regarding the transfer of Matei Ilie started from the beginning of the summer, with the transfer amount decreasing progressively. The one transmitted today, 700,000 euros + percent, is the absolute minimum for which it would be the white-troops willing to give it.
The amount progressively reduced due to footballer's decreasing performances highlighted by the Sweden disaster, 2-7 with Hackenbut also as a result of the surprising transfer of Kurt Zouma to Gruia, the French being expected to become an undeniable holder in the white-tie team.
In the last hours of the transfer period, the “dogs” prioritize the bringing of a central defender. Nikita Stoinov and Kennedy Boateng are undeniable holders, and problems arise when it comes to reserves.
Cristi Licsandru has just returned after a long -term injury, Răzvan Pașcalău is no longer in the plans of Zeljko Kopic, and Andrei Mărginean, who is also in the process of recovery, is not a central defender, but a midfielder.
