Andrii Borza, Rapid’s new defender

The 17-year-old player signed a contract with the Giulesti group for the next 4 seasons.

According to GSP, Rapid paid 800,000 euros, and Gike Hagi’s team will receive 10% of the future transfer.

“It’s great to be here, it’s time to step up to a traditional team and I’m very proud of myself. The fans are incredible. The stadium and the fans forced me to make this choice and I am very proud of this move.

I am a very serious player and I will prove it here at Juleshti Temple. I have many goals. Some of them I have already touched on, others I want to do here. For me, it was just a dream to achieve so much before the age of 17″ – Andriy Borzaquoted by Rapid.

Rapid will even face Farul Constanta in the sixth stage of the Romanian Super League, so there is a possibility that Borza will start in the game scheduled for August 20.

Borza has 45 matches in Faro’s main team, during which he scored 3 goals and provided 3 decisive assists.
