Darius Olaru embarks on new journey with Union Saint-Gilloise
Darius Olaru is set to leave his mark in Belgium, having decided to transfer to Union Saint-Gilloise, the vice-champion of the Belgian league. This move comes after a successful spell in Romania, where he recorded an impressive 15 goals and 8 assists across all competitions this season.
After spending six and a half years with his previous team, Olaru felt it was time for a new challenge. He expressed a desire for a fresh motivation, making it clear that a transfer to Europe was his priority. He is particularly excited about the prospect of competing in the Champions League and winning trophies with his new club.
The transfer fee for Olaru has been reported at 3 million euros, a decision supported by Gigi Becali, who agreed to let the star player go. This decision follows a season in which Olaru helped his team secure their first championship title in a long time and qualify for the Europa League.
Olaru's potential new club, Union Saint-Gilloise, has not only been competitive in the league but also recently won the Cup. With aspirations to contribute to their success, Olaru has already discussed his interest in joining the club with his agent a couple of months ago. While the transfer is not yet finalized, he has indicated a desire to say goodbye to his current team next week.
In the backdrop of this exciting move, there are whispers of a missed opportunity for another Romanian player who failed to secure a transfer abroad. As Olaru prepares for this new chapter in his career, he stands as a beacon of hope for aspiring athletes in Romania, showcasing the possibilities that lie ahead.
