Romanian football: Tudor Băluță near Aris Limassol transfer, Silviu Bogdan targeted for FCSB

Midfielder Tudor Băluță, 27, is on the verge of leaving Universitatea Craiova for Cypriot club Aris Limassol. The move follows Aris' recent signing of fellow Romanian Juraj Badelj and could see Băluță, valued at about €1.7 million, join the team after losing his starting spot at Craiova. He has made 51 appearances for the club, scoring twice and providing three assists.

Separately, junior coach and scout Silviu Bogdan, known for discovering talents such as Ștefan Baiaram and Valentin Mihăilă, is being pursued by Gigi Becali to take a senior scouting role at FCSB. Bogdan left Universitatea Craiova after disputes over commission shares on player transfers, and his potential appointment is described as a major coup for the club.
