The match with the title at stake in Romania will be played on Sunday evening, the great derby between the top 2 teams in Liga 1, Universitatea Craiova vs Universitatea Cluj.
Starting at 8:30 PM, in Bănie, this match could decide the championship, considering that the Oltenians have a one-point lead and with a victory today, they can secure their first title after a 25-year hiatus.
A delegation from Beşiktaş, one of Turkey's giants, will also be present at the match, as they aim to acquire the Cluj attackers, Bosnian Jovo Lukici, who will also be part of the ex-Yugoslav camp at the World Cup this summer. Beşiktaş is willing to offer one million euros for Lukici, who has become the top scorer of the Superliga in the "Red Caps" jersey.
The scouts of the Turkish black and white club will be in Bănie to monitor Lukici, as reported by Gazeta Sporturilor. They may offer one million euros for Romania's top scorer, who could play in the Conference League with the Turkish club. Jovo still has a three-year contract with the Transylvanian team.
Neluțu Sabău has been involved in Lukici's transfer, a man who has already scored 18 goals, and convinced the forward to sign with the Transylvanian team:
"I told him that he will restart his career and at U, he will have an environment to grow, gain confidence, and reach another level. It was evident that he had quality, but something was holding him back from showing it. He came to Cluj, and in the first season, he became the league's top scorer, leading the team in the title race and championship."
"The club will receive a handsome sum for him if and when they decide to sell him; he is currently the best striker in Romania. He is calm in front of the goal, needs confidence, and can do extraordinary things," Sabău commented for GSP.ro.
The match between U Craiova and U Cluj will be broadcast live text on SpotMedia.ro on Sunday evening at 8:30 PM.
