The management of the team from Bănie is negotiating with Adrian Rus, a 30-year-old Romanian and Hungarian Centre-Back. The current one-season agreement ends in early July, and both parties have expressed their intention to continue their collaboration. A detail in the negotiation is the possibility for the team to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Universitatea Craiova is preparing to win the title, and participation in the competition is a strong argument for the defender to sign the new contract. Adrian Rus said that he still has a contract until the summer and is in discussions with the club, and that they will see. He also said that if they come to an agreement, he will definitely stay there. He has 22 caps and 1 goal for Romania. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.20m.
