CFR Cluj agreed with Nicolae Stancu – The owner of the Romanian champion announced this

Nicolae Stanciu is currently a player at Wuhan Three Towns, but it is unlikely that the Romanian will stay there from this winter.

Even if the Romanian midfielder stated that his main interest is winning the title in the Chinese Super League, both CFR Cluj and the Czechs from Slavia Prague want him already this winter.

In addition, the Czech formation came with a huge salary, more than 1.5 million euros per year, which is more than double what Stancu received in the previous adventure in the Czech Republic.

Immediately after the draw of the Conference League, Nelutu Varga, the owner of the CFR Cluj team, confirmed that he wants StanĨa in Gruja.

“Stanchu is a priority for the CFR Cluj! I also wanted in January, that’s right. But at that time the transfer could not be carried out. Now we are ready to make an effort. But it’s not just effort, it’s also about numbers.” – Nelutu Varga said at that moment.

In addition to the interest of Slavia Prague, the Cluj boss made an important announcement, namely that he has reached an agreement with Stancu about his return to the Romanian Super League.

“I really hope that they can eventually make this transfer. I personally spoke with Stanchu, and the guy told me that he wants to come to us.

He wanted to move to us for a year, but for various reasons it did not happen.

Now Stanch and I have come to an understanding and there will be no problems with the salary. I will find a way to solve it myself.

I’ll give him bigger bonuses too, no problem. I got along with him. There are two things that are confusing us right now.

Clubs have to get along. He has a contract in China until 2024, and the Chinese have not yet decided what they want to do.

There is something political in them, something like that. But, from the information I have, it seems that Slavia also wants him back. We also want it in the CFR.

If it is not possible with a permanent transfer, and here I could give at most two million euros, then at least a loan to bring him to CFR Cluj. I’m also very confident that the guy wants to go back to Romania to be even closer to his family.” – said Nelutu Varga for ProSport.
