CFR Cluj were stopped on their way to a sixth consecutive Romanian title, and the Transylvanian team’s poor season could lead to the parting of Dan Petrescu.

Dan Petrescu, offer from FC Seoul – Attractive salary of $1.5 million

CFR is fighting hard to finish the current season in third place, a position that would guarantee the Transylvanians a play-off match (with the winner of FC U Craiova and FC Voluntari) for access to the Conference League.

The main task (the title) has been missed, and parting with Dan Petrescu is increasingly drawing to a close.

In addition, according to Fanatik, the coach has a tempting offer from South Korea. The team in question is FC Seoul (six-time champions), a group that would offer the Badger an attractive salary of $1.5 million per season.

Petrescu now earns 300,000 euros in the CFR, and his contract with the former champion of Romania expires on June 30, 2024.

According to the cited source, the decision has not been made yet, but it is becoming increasingly clear that if CFR misses the presence in the European Cups, the technician will leave the formation in Gruja.

CFR is currently in 3rd place with one stage to go in the season.
