Rapid București Sign FCSB Left-Back in €110,000 Deal
In a surprise but strategic move that has sent shockwaves through Romanian football, Rapid București have successfully secured the signing of a key left-back from their arch-rivals FCSB for a reported fee of €110,000. The transfer, confirmed earlier today, marks one of the most talked-about moves of the season, reigniting the historic rivalry between the two clubs.
The player, whose name is being withheld until official club presentations, has been a consistent performer for FCSB over recent seasons. Known for his defensive solidity, pace, and ability to contribute to attacking plays, he is expected to add immediate value to Rapid’s back line and offer tactical versatility for the remainder of the season.
Club officials at Rapid expressed optimism following the deal, citing the player’s experience at the top level and the relatively modest transfer fee as major positives. “We’re excited to welcome him to Rapid. His qualities on and off the field will be a big asset to our squad,” said a Rapid București spokesperson.
The move is particularly notable given the longstanding rivalry between the two Bucharest giants. Transfers between the clubs are rare and often controversial, with fans of both sides expressing strong opinions on such moves. While FCSB supporters may see the departure as a loss, Rapid fans are celebrating what many believe to be a smart and symbolic victory.
With Rapid București pushing for a higher finish in Liga I this season, this signing signals the club’s serious ambitions and commitment to strengthening the squad. If the left-back adapts quickly and delivers consistent performances, this €110,000 deal could prove to be one of the bargains of the year.
