Miguel Silva has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Universitatea Cluj they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets20 Mar 2028

Mohamed Oukhattou due for a Universitatea Cluj medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom20 Mar 2028

Universitatea Cluj beat the market to Yassine Zakir from Olimpia Satu Mare

Olimpia Satu Mare will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Yassine Zakir has pre-agreed a move to Universitatea Cluj, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad20 Mar 2028

A falling-out at Universitatea Cluj

Dorin Codrea and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Dino Mikanović falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Too much change too quickly at Universitatea Cluj

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Alessandro Murgia

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alessandro Murgia, and the manager let it.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

When it matters, Jovo Lukić plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad20 Mar 2028

The formation has left Siny Guèye behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Universitatea Cluj will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Jonathan Cissé has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Universitatea Cluj they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Jovo Lukić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jovo Lukić and Universitatea Cluj agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Issouf Macalou wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Universitatea Cluj know it.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Universitatea Cluj

Hamidou Kante was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad13 Mar 2028

A move Siny Guèye would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Siny Guèye is living that version at Universitatea Cluj, and it tends to show in the first month.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Simion

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Universitatea Cluj keep their word to Krisztián Hegyi

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

When it matters, Jug Stanojev plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market13 Mar 2028

Talks stall between Universitatea Cluj and Oucasse Mendy

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
