Four stellar transfers to the University of Craiova. Mihai Rotaru gave Gigi Becali the grace kick. Budescu, the sensational move in the fight with FCSB

The University of Craiova had a great start to the season and won on the line in the first seven stages of League I, but in the last month many problems have led Oltenia to lose the first place in the standings.

The surprising defeats suffered in front of some teams like Academica Clinceni or Chindia Târgovişte led to the expulsion of Cristiano Bergodi, and now Corneliu Papură is responsible for the team’s results. With victories up for grabs in the last six rounds, FCSB took the lead in League I and was two points ahead of Oltenia and six points clear of the last three seasons’ champion CFR Cluj.

Thus, the Olten leadership is now looking for the best options for the winter break, when Mihai Rotaru hopes to give blow for blow to seriously strengthen Corneliu Papură’s team. Olten star Elvir Koljic should only return in February, so the University of Craiova is in great need of transfers in the offensive, but also defensive zone.

To face the great rivals FCSB and CFR Cluj and win the long-awaited title from Bănie’s group, Mihai Rotaru has already started negotiations with several players with evolutions highly appreciated by the League I. According to sport.ro, Universitatea Craiova wants to transfer more elementary players from the Astra Giurgiu team.

With players unpaid for more than three months, with owner Ioan Niculae hospitalized due to the coronavirus and disappointing developments in League I, Astra is very close to losing its best free players. David Lazar, the goalkeeper who also joined the first representative of Romania, Constantin Budescu, Valentin Gheorghe and Mattia Montini are the four players that Mihai Rotaru hopes to bring free of charge during the winter break.

Last season the University of Craiova played in the very final for the title with CFR Cluj, but lost against the Romanian champion, so much so that the Oltenians now hope to prevail in the First League with the help of the Astra Giurgiu players.
