According to as.ro, Olympique Lyon is the latest major team constantly monitoring 23-year-old Romanian international centre-forward Louis Munteanu, and the French club reportedly had representatives at the CFR vs. Rapid 3-0 derby where he made two decisive passes. Lyon's interest is not new. The club, which is currently 7th in the Europa League phase, was interested in Munteanu since the summer and has now renewed its interest. It is reported that CFR Cluj is now willing to sell the player for 10 million euros, a significant decrease from the summer when the club's owner, Ioan Varga, was asking for double that figure. At that time, Rennes had been prepared to offer 12 million euros, but negotiations did not succeed as CFR's management maintained a high price. Munteanu joined CFR Cluj in July 2024 and has a contract until June 2028. His current market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In the current 2025/2026 domestic league season, he has scored 1 goal and provided 5 assists in 11 appearances, and has 4 caps and 2 goals for Romania.
