Mauro Pederzoli, who has recently been appointed as the sports director at Rapid Bucuresti, stated that he had a conversation with Valentin Mihăilă. Pederzoli's new role at Rapid follows a 25-year career overseas, where he held a notable position at Parma as a scout and later as a sports director. During his time at Parma, Pederzoli became familiar with Romanian players Dennis Man and Valentin Mihăilă, both of whom have been significant contributors to the team's success. While no specific details about a transfer have been disclosed, the context implies that Rapid may have an interest in Mihăilă, especially considering Pederzoli's prior association with him at Parma. Pederzoli also mentioned that Rapid intends to be proactive in the transfer market, but stressed the importance of making carefully thought-out decisions rather than hasty ones.
