Man, what else is there to see in Cluj! I was chilling with a beer at Fane's terrace when the news hit me: U Cluj turned down a 2 million euro offer for Jovo Lukic, the SuperLiga top scorer. Now, let's be serious, bro, 2 million euros don't grow on trees, but president Radu Constantea said no deal.
Honestly, I'd do the same if I had a striker banging in 18 goals a season and heading to the World Cup. What, hand him over to the Turks at Beşiktaş? I was at the Craiova match and saw how he scored.
Man, madness, bro, the guy shoots like a cannon, no joke! The 27-year-old Bosnian, brought in on a free from Universitatea Craiova, now they've extended his contract until 2029. That's how it's done, not like in the old days when we'd sell players for peanuts.
And here's the deal: Constantea spoke on TVR Cluj and said the offer was rejected without much discussion. What can I say, good for them! But wait, it doesn't end there.
There's also defender Andrei Coubiş, whom they wouldn't sell even dead. Although several clubs are interested, they say he's staying. And now, for acquisitions, Constantea announces they've signed pre-contracts with three players coming in the summer.
Three, bro, not one! And they're still looking for a young U21 player, maybe from the academy or one raised in Italy. Oh my, it's like a market, not football.
Now, if you ask me, I say it's good they didn't sell Lukic. Look what others do: sell for big money and end up with nothing. U Cluj plays it smart: keep what's good and bring in more.
Good for them!
