Cluj turned down a bid from Celtic for Louis Munteanu, which was reportedly just under £6.9 million. The owner of Cluj, Nelutu Varga, indicated that Munteanu would depart only if a club met the asking price of 18 million euros. Dan Peterescu, Cluj's manager, expressed that Munteanu is irreplaceable, highlighting his 25-goal achievement last season. According to Romanian reports, the club from Transylvania is waiting for an offer of £15.5 million. Munteanu's outstanding performance last season has solidified his status as a vital player for Cluj, with Peterescu noting that finding a replacement of his caliber would be as unlikely as winning the lottery.
