CFR Cluj is on the verge of acquiring experienced right-back Romario Benzar from FC Botoșani, with the clubs negotiating a transfer fee around €100,000 after reaching a principle agreement with the player. Coach Dan Petrescu urgently wants to strengthen the right flank, following a season start with an improvised option, and plans to rotate players across domestic and European competitions. Benzar, once a top Liga 1 defender with national team caps, aims to revive his career at Cluj, which recently announced it has cleared all club debts, signaling stability and ambition ahead of the new season[1][2][3].
This move underscores CFR Cluj’s intent to solidify their squad depth amid competitive challenges on multiple fronts.
