Dan Petrescu is close to leaving CFR Cluj, the only obstacle standing in the coach’s way is a release clause he doesn’t want to pay.

Dan Petrescu should transfer two CFR players to his new team

Nelutu Varga, the patron of the former Romanian champions, said Petrescu would not have to pay the €400,000 release clause if he transferred the two CFR players to his future team.

“Dan Petrescu is still under contract with us for one more year and has a clause of €400,000. I will not hide from you that if he has a specific offer from somewhere, we will not stop him. But we discussed something. That is, to transfer two players from ChFR Cluj to where he will go.

And it’s not that they take weak players. He will convey what he believes will strengthen his team. Why should we sell them elsewhere, because there is interest, if Petrescu can also teach them, and they will immediately surrender? Yes, this is a condition” – Ioan Varga for DigiSport.

One of the players that Varga wants to send in a “package” from Petrescu is Carlo Muhar.

A deal between Dan Petrescu and South Korean side Jeonbuk has been rumored recently, but the coach has revealed that he has offers from other countries.
