The University of Cluj may be taken over by Turkish investors

In the near future, the Red Caps may have new investors, and the club’s management is negotiating with a group of businessmen from Turkey.

They were present in the stands during the last leg of the game, which ended in a draw with Petrolul Ploiesti, and the discussions were confirmed by the club’s president.

The group of businessmen includes Serhan Cetinsaya, the former vice-president of Besiktas Istanbul, and Sertak Guven, who took an active part in the management of the Trabzonspor team, writes GSP.

“I would not like to comment much. We are at a certain stage of discussions, and in the next period we will see how they will develop.

Yes, there are discussions. They were in Cluj, at the match. I can’t give you too many details about the state of the discussions,” Cluj University President Radu Constantea confirmed to Iamsport.ro.

University of Cluj, who are tenth in the Superliga with 20 points, travel to Giulesti to face Rapid in the next round.
