During the day, Nelutu Varga’s boss shed light on Malele’s case: the 29-year-old forward had Varga’s permission to leave the team, the football player explained it because of big family problems.

“This guy did not run away from any team and did not fight with anyone in the club. He is not even injured. He approached me and explained his situation. He has big family problems and I let him leave Cluj.

He had my consent and in the coming days we will decide what to do next with his contract. We borrowed him from the Arabs, but we haven’t decided anything about Malele yet” – Ioan Vargafor Prosport.

Malele belongs to the group from Saudi Arabia “Al-Tai”, and in “CFR Cluj” he is only on loan until the end of the season. According to the source, the first option for the final transfer of the forward is the champion of Romania.
