Yevhen Konoplyanka’s departure allows CFR to take another impressive step in the transfer market. Italian tuttomercatoweb reports that Omar El-Kaddouri is ready to sign for Andrea Mandorlini’s side.

The 33-year-old is out of contract from the summer of 2023 after parting ways with PAOK, and has also played for reigning Italian champions Napoli in the past.

With 30 caps and 5 goals for the Moroccan national team, the player, who is currently valued at €600,000, plays as an attacking midfielder and has 108 caps, 12 goals and 16 assists in Serie A.

“Reinforcement in Cluj. Omar El Kaddouri, a midfielder born in 1990, will come. Negotiations are now underway and close to completion. Athletic director Rezwan Zanfir and coach Andrea Mandorlini are on hand to welcome him. The former Napoli player is an important transfer that will help the midfield department.” – the Italians wrote.
