Juan Bauza transfer to Rapid denied by coach Daniel Pancu

Argentinian forward Juan Bauza, who terminated his contract with FCU Craiova after a brief spell at Colombia's Atletico Nacional, became the subject of transfer speculation when his wife Francesca posted a humorous video on social media hinting at a move to Rapid Bucharest. Fans amplified the rumor, asking whether Bauza would learn Romanian under Rapid coach Daniel Pancu.

At a press conference before Rapid's match with CFR Cluj, Daniel Pancu rejected the idea, stating that Bauza is not currently on Rapid's radar and that the player has not been active for some time. The club confirmed that Bauza remains under contract with FCU Craiova until 2027, despite the player's claim of unilateral termination. The dispute continues to generate discussion among Romanian football supporters.
