Rapid București ramps up transfer activity as Romanian SuperLiga season unfolds

Rapid București is active in the summer market. Coach Daniel Pancu said he has no role in negotiations but confirmed interest in striker Alex Dobre, noting no official offer from Turkish side Rizespor and that any move would require a substantial fee, around €3 million. The club also secured the loan of Filip Stojilkovic from Pisa, with an option to buy, describing him as a combative forward who can play with both feet. Pancu has urged major shareholder Dan Șucu to bring in at least one midfielder, after the squad entered the season with limited depth in that area. Rumours suggest a loan deal for midfielder Chec Bebel Doumbia from Genoa may be imminent.

Meanwhile, Dinamo București, after three league matches, recorded a 5‑1 victory over Universitatea Craiova. Former player and coach Ioan Andone praised the performance, saying the team could qualify for European competitions despite limited title prospects. He also noted striker George Pușcaș is recovering from a hernia operation and is expected back in September. The upcoming UTA Arad vs. Rapid match is highlighted as a key fixture in the early season schedule.
