Cristi Ignat, a 23-year-old centre-back with Romanian and Moldovan nationality, is set to complete a transfer to CFR Cluj. The player had received an offer from FC Voluntari with a salary of €8,000 per month, but he chose to wait for other possibilities until the end of the transfer window. According to information from digisport.ro, Ignat will join CFR Cluj, where he will again work with Marius Șumudică, who coached him last season at Rapid and started him in 25 matches. Rapid will release him for free, a decision based on the good relationship between the two clubs and a desire to resolve the situation for a player who had minimal chances of playing. Ignat was not included in Rapid's squad for their first Romanian Cup match. The team's coach, Pancu, had said that there are several footballers in the squad who do not want to leave. He has been capped 14 times for the Romania U21 national team. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €700k.
