Maccabi Haifa is showing strong interest in signing Vladimir Screciu, Universitatea Craiova's 25-year-old Romanian defensive midfielder, according to a report from Fanatik. Scouts from Israel were reportedly in attendance for two of Romania's national games to observe Screciu, but the midfielder did not make an appearance in either match. The transfer period in Israel remains open for another ten days. In comments made to the same outlet, Pavel Badea from Universitatea Craiova's management confirmed that Screciu's on-field displays have drawn attention from foreign teams. Badea characterized the player as experienced and vital to the team's defense, stating his exit would be a considerable blow. He concluded by expressing his belief that Screciu is likely to continue with Craiova at least until the summer. The player's contract is valid until June 30, 2027, with Transfermarkt placing his market value at an estimated €2.00m.
