Gigi Becali questions financial stability of CFR Cluj

Gigi Becali has expressed skepticism regarding the financial stability of CFR Cluj and its owner, Neluțu Varga. Becali estimated that Varga has invested approximately 70 million euros into the club, noting the high salaries paid to players. This commentary follows CFR Cluj's official request to enter insolvency.

Marius Șumudică has returned to lead CFR Cluj as head coach during this period of financial and sporting difficulty. Șumudică previously managed the team in 2021 but left following a dispute regarding his access to the training base and subsequent contract termination.

In a separate context regarding league dynamics, Becali responded to comments made by Victor Angelescu concerning refereeing and the influence of major clubs. Becali criticized the perceived loss of power at CFR Cluj and defended the dominance of FCSB, asserting that respect in the league is earned through winning and financial strength.
