CFR Cluj completes major squad overhaul with 10 transfers
CFR Cluj has completed a massive squad overhaul following the lifting of a FIFA transfer ban. In a highly active final day of the transfer window, the club registered approximately ten new players to strengthen various positions.
Key arrivals include goalkeeper Arpad Tordai, attackers Billel Omrani and Sergiu Buș, midfielder Adi Nalić, and defender Iva Gelashvili. The club also secured young talents such as Leo Saca, a former Barcelona academy player, and Jelani Dumas from Benfica. Other additions include Ervin Omić, Cristian Perea, and Cristian Ignat.
CFR Cluj manager Marius Șumudică expressed surprise at the volume of activity, noting that the influx of players, many of whom have experience in major European academies like Real Madrid and Barcelona, has shifted the team's goals from avoiding the bottom of the standings toward competing for a play-off spot.
Separately, rumors have circulated regarding Șumudică potentially being considered as a future manager for FCSB, a possibility the coach noted he is open to but remains focused on his current duties at CFR Cluj.
