Match19 Aug 2026

Viitorul through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Botosani, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market24 Aug 2026

Viitorul turn down CFR Cluj for Paul Hagi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Business is business: Cosmin Deac goes

Vitoria Guimaraes paid $5.3M and Viitorul took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market24 Aug 2026

Razvan Balasa hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Viitorul can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Alexandru Moldovan

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Alexandru Moldovan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Viitorul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Aug 2026

Claudiu Coman the difference as Viitorul beat Petrolul

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Claudiu Coman. 2‑1 against Petrolul, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Alexandru Moldovan

“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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Claudiu Coman in the eights

A performance of 8.38 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Nobody could get near Alexandru Moldovan

Successful dribbles: 37. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

Viitorul turn down Dinamo Bucharest for Ovidiu Balasa

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Viitorul

Alexandru Moldovan 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

The Cosmin Deac conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Vitoria Guimaraes will make the call about Cosmin Deac this week. Viitorul have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Ovidiu Balasa

“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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

One of those days for Cosmin Deac

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match15 Aug 2026

Viitorul share the spoils with CFR Cluj

A 1‑1 draw with CFR Cluj leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A wage question at Viitorul

César Andrade has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The stands have heard the Cosmin Deac talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. Viitorul would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

Market10 Aug 2026

Viitorul say no — this time

The offer from FCSB for Alexandru Moldovan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

César Andrade signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” César Andrade commits to Viitorul for another 3 years.

Tempers go at Viitorul

Alexandru Moldovan 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.

Alexandru Moldovan in the eights

A performance of 8.87 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nothing got past Paul Hagi

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Dragos Hagi in the eights

A performance of 8.71 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match8 Aug 2026

Alexandru Moldovan the difference as Viitorul beat Dinamo Bucharest

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Alexandru Moldovan. 1‑0 against Dinamo Bucharest, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Cosmin Deac keeps on missing

Shots: 8, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Rareş Bălan

“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.
