Nicolae Stanciu (32 years old) is in a difficult situation at Genoa, where he is not playing, and is on Rapid’s transfer list.
Through the voice of Răzvan Raț, a member of the Board of Directors, Genoa has spoken about the possibility of Stanciu’s return to Romania.
Raț does not believe that Stanciu wants to return to Romania, even on loan to Rapid, and if he were to leave Genoa, he would do so abroad.
"He is frustrated because his goal is to return to the national team.
He is the captain of the national team, he is important both for himself and for the national team. It is important for him to have a team where he can play, whether it is Genoa or another team.
I don't think there is any chance for him to return to Romania. If he were to leave Genoa, I believe that in his mind, he wants something higher than Rapid," Raț said, according to Pro TV.
Nicolae Stanciu has played six matches (408 minutes) in all competitions this season at Genoa and has scored once.
