CFR Cluj has received a concrete offer of 2 million euros for Kosovar winger Meriton Korenica, according to Telegrafi.
The footballer is being sought by Apollon Limassol, a club from the Cypriot championship, which is aiming for significant reinforcements during the winter transfer window.
According to sources from the Romanian media outlet GSP, talks between the two clubs are ongoing and it is expected that by New Year’s Eve, CFR Cluj’s leaders will give the Cypriot club a final response regarding the offer for Korenica.
Apollon prepares contract for Korenica
According to the same sources, Apollon Limassol has already prepared a contract for the Kosovar footballer. In the event of a transfer, Korenica would receive an annual salary of 500 thousand euros, a figure that makes the offer quite attractive for the player.
After selling Lindon Emerllah to Ukraine’s Polissya for 1.5 million euros, CFR Cluj is facing the possibility of losing another starter. This time, the Romanian club would benefit even more financially, with a fee of 2 million euros for Korenica. Discussions between the parties are expected to continue until the end of the year.
