Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
CSM Slatina agree $880.0K for Viorel Lică
The clubs have shaken hands with Corvinul Hunedoara; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

CSM Slatina turn down FC Argeș for Óscar Siafá
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
No deal for Adrian Mazilu at that price
CSM Slatina offered $1.2M; Dinamo Bucharest said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
CSM Slatina go back to the board over Adrian Mazilu
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.3M — a club that wants Adrian Mazilu enough to be asked twice.

CSM Slatina promote Daniel Man from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Man has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț take the points off CSM Slatina
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
