Settled in Spain, Gică Craioveanu has disclosed the name of the team Andrei Rațiu will sign for.
Although the Spanish press constantly writes about FC Barcelona’s interest in Rațiu, Craioveanu says the player will end up at Villarreal.
This is because Villarreal has a clause in the contract that allows them to buy back Rațiu for 7 million euros.
"They will definitely do it (referring to buying him back for 7 million euros). He might even stay there, at Villarreal," Craioveanu said to Digi Sport.
Then, Craioveanu explained why it is difficult for Andrei Rațiu to join FC Barcelona this summer.
"Let's not forget that Barcelona is in a bad financial situation. 25 million for Rațiu is a huge amount. It's not possible (referring to Barca paying his release clause from Rayo), I've been telling you for a year now, he is 50% Villarreal's player," Gică Craioveanu stated.
