Major changes to the Lighthouse! Two basic players will leave Hagi’s team
Farul is currently ranked 5th in the Superliga play-off.
After the defeat suffered in Ovidiu in front of the FCSB leader, score 0-1, the atmosphere in the sailors’ locker room is not exactly good.
Two basic players will leave Hagi’s team
According to GSP information, the group from Constanta will part with two basic players at the end of this season. It is about the experienced David Kiki (30 years old) and Constantin Budescu (35 years old), footballers who made important contributions for Farul in the regular season.
With a market value of €1.1m, Kiki has turned down the offer to extend his contract which will expire this summer. Moreover, the international from Benin would have already agreed with a team from Bulgaria. Most likely, it would be Ludogorets, leader in the championship south of the Danube.
Returning to Romania after playing in both of the Benin national team’s friendlies against Ivory Coast (2-2) and Senegal (1-0 loss), Kiki was not used in the most recent match with FCSB.
In total, the full-back mustered just 21 minutes in the play-offs.
Black ball also for the veteran Budescu
In August 2023, Budescu joined the sailors after parting with Petrolul Ploiești.
The 35-year-old veteran is no longer showing the same brilliance as he did in the regular season, where he scored 6 times and contributed 6 assists for the Lighthouse.
For comparison, in the last 4 matches he only collected 27 minutes, in the game with FCSB he was used at the end of the match, playing only 8 minutes.
The fans of the Romanian champion expressed their dissatisfaction with the attitude that the player shows on the playing field.
Quoted at 440,000 euros, Constantin Budescu will also leave the seaside group at the end of this season.
