Romanian Winger Rejects Maccabi Tel Aviv Offer Worth €600,000 Per Season
Maccabi Tel Aviv, seeking to strengthen its winger position, reportedly made an offer to Andrei Cordea, a player for Romanian club CFR Cluj. However, Cordea rejected the proposal, opting to stay with his current team.
Nelu Varga, the owner of CFR Cluj, stated that Cordea turned down a salary of €600,000 per season. Varga claimed that Maccabi Tel Aviv had offered Cordea €1 million per season just before the transfer window closed, but the player expressed a desire to remain with Cluj. "He told us he wouldn't leave just for the sake of leaving," Varga said, praising Cordea's character and resilience.
Cordea, 27, plays as a right winger, a position Maccabi Tel Aviv is looking to reinforce. This season, he has scored four goals. Last season, he recorded 15 goals and five assists across all competitions as CFR Cluj finished third in their league and was eliminated in the qualifying playoffs for the Conference League.
Earlier, Maccabi Tel Aviv had also approached winger Morgan Boyes, who reportedly expressed reservations about moving to Israel.
