Former Romanian international Florin Prunea commented on Dan Sucu’s decision to buy Genoa on the local broadcast ‘Fotbal Club Show’. “We found out now, but I think this transaction has been in the works for a long time. I’m curious how the rapid supporters will receive this news.”
Sucu was already part of the world of football being the current majority shareholder of Rapid Bucharest. “The moment you go to invest elsewhere – continues Prunea -, I think you feel a bit like a fan of this kind: ‘Why didn’t you invest in Rapid to fight for the scudetto, to get to the Champions League and so on?’ .Put in 10 million and team up. Instead we don’t know what Rapid will be like,” he concluded.
Rapid Bucharest currently occupies seventh position in the league, eight behind leaders U.Cluj, and is fresh from the success against Gloria Buzau.
