Andrei Coubiș's record move to Lincoln City amid Romanian football updates

Andrei Coubiș Lincoln City Ionuț Chirilă CS Dinamo free‑kick leaders

Romanian defender Andrei Coubiș, 22, left Universitatea Cluj for English side Lincoln City after six months, signing for a reported fee of at least €3 million – the highest amount ever paid by the club – and handing over 15% of his future federative rights. Coubiș posted an emotional farewell message thanking the club, staff, teammates and supporters and pledged to remain a fan of U Cluj.

Former Romanian coach Ionuț Chirilă returned to active management, taking charge of CS Dinamo after a five‑year hiatus spent as a pundit and podcaster. He began preparations with the squad at a training camp in Brașov, describing the facilities as a five‑star aparthotel.

Former footballer Claudiu Niculescu highlighted FCSB forward Florin Tănase and Dinamo midfielder Cătălin Cîrjan as the leading free‑kick specialists in the Superliga, noting that goals from set‑pieces have become scarce, with only two to three scored in 104 matches at the recent World Cup.
