In his 100-year-old season, Rapid aimed to finish in the top three of the Super League, as well as win the Romanian Cup, which fell short after being eliminated from the competition’s groups.

Dan Shuku promises more investment in Rapid – Transfers at the request of Cristiano Bergodi

A day after a 0-0 home draw with CFR Cluj stopped Rapid on their way to the quarter-finals of the Romanian Cup, the club’s majority shareholder released a statement announcing that he will invest even more in the next period. .

Dan Shuku also sends a stark message to the players and coaches, warning them that they will leave the team if they don’t want to perform.

“Dear rapidists!

We know you’re disappointed. We are not used to conceding a goal, no matter what it is, and we don’t want to get used to it.

For Viktor and I, as shareholders, disappointment automatically turns into disappointment as we realize how deep we have dug into our pockets and the results are still inconclusive.

Yes, we think the Rapid is definitely more mature this year than last year, but not strong enough! It’s still not at the level we all want to see.

Of course, any team relies on the fans, on the heart they connect with. But we are also looking at another traditional team from Bucharest, with a lot of fans, but who, without enough resources, are fighting desperately to avoid relegation.

Therefore, we will not let disappointments stop us from further distributing money and even convince us to invest more and faster.

We have set a goal to make our team the strongest, most serious and respected in Romania for many years to come, and we will contribute any amount necessary to achieve this result.

We are committed to having and retaining under contract only players, coaches, staff or employees who understand, respect and accept this requirement! Anyone who doesn’t want to be the best, who doesn’t want to be a champion, has nothing to do with us!

Our technical team informed us of the need to improve five to six items from the existing batch. At least two, maybe even three valuable players will come in the next transfer window.

Starting in January 2024, they will be joined by our valuable boys who are unfortunately currently injured.

But until then, there are three rounds of the championship to go and we expect our players who take the field to realize the disappointment they have caused us and play at the level they did against FCSB.

As fans, we have the pleasure of supporting them, encouraging them and pushing them to victory.

With thanks, Dan Șucu” – said the main shareholder of Rapidin social networks.

Even in the Super League, the team’s situation is not the best, after a streak of 12 games without defeat, Rapid recorded three unsuccessful games.
