Midfielder Assad Al-Hamlawi was signed by Universitatea Craiova for over one million euros.

Assad Al-Hamlawi forced his departure from Śląsk Wrocław by leaving the training camp without permission, violating contract terms, which led to a financial penalty. He will join Universitatea Craiova on a permanent transfer. The transfer fee is undisclosed. The Romanian club finished third in the last season and will compete in the Conference League qualifiers.

Assad Al-Hamlawi, a 24-year-old forward, is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Universitatea Craiova. He has left the training camp of his current club, Śląsk Wrocław, apparently in an effort to force a transfer. It is said that the Romanian club was introduced to him by Tudor Băluță, a former Śląsk Wrocław player who has recently joined Universitatea Craiova. The player's representatives have explained that psychological and stress-related issues were the reasons for his departure from the camp. The transfer depends on Śląsk Wrocław's decision, as Al-Hamlawi remains under contract until June 30, 2027. Bartosz Wieczorek from TVP Sport has confirmed these reports.
