The owner of CFR “broke the bank” to transfer the Romanian footballer who had the most offers this summer. “12 teams want him,” they said, for ProSportsources from the player’s entourage, a week ago, when the transfer seemed extremely difficult for CFR.
Italian journalists wrote that Espanyol Barcelona and two Serie A teams were interested in Louis Munteanu.
“We are not like others, who only talk with our mouths”
The high interest has increased the price of Louis Munteanu. It is the most expensive player that CFR acquires in the “Varga Era”. The Italian press announces sums of 2.3 or 2.5 million euros for the transfer of the 22-year-old striker. Nelutu Varga says that the amounts being circulated are not real, but he admits that he paid a “fortune” for the attacker.
“I don’t want to say the amount, but obviously it’s the most I’ve ever paid for a player,” Varga told ProSport.
The financier also sends a fine irony to Gigi Becali, the one who spoke several times about his negotiations with Louis Munteanu.
“When I want something, I take it. We are not like others, who only talk. We do our job professionally, work quietly and try to perform. Others are just talking,” says the man with the CFR money.
“I was not interested in FCSB’s offer. I wanted it and I made the best offer”
The financier who won 5 titles with CFR says he did not seek to steal Louis Munteanu from FCSB. The competition for the attack of Dan Petrescu’s team has increased a lot in the last week. Postolachi and Munteanu will duel with Bîrligea and Peter Michael for the starting positions.
“I was not interested in FCSB’s offer, nor was there any personal ambition to take him because they wanted him. I wanted it and made my best offer. He had many offers, but we had the best one. He is a striker that I like a lot and that Dan Petrescu also wanted. We have Romania’s future strikers, Bîrligea and Munteanu, plus we also have Postolachi. We have future players”, concluded Varga.
