In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Rapid Bucharest has pulled off one of the most surprising transfers of the Liga 1 season, finalizing a sensational last-minute deal just before the window slammed shut. The club confirmed the signing of former Serie A midfielder Luca Valzania, who arrives on a free transfer after parting ways with Cremonese.
The 28-year-old Italian brings top-flight experience, having featured prominently in Italy’s Serie A and Serie B for clubs including Atalanta, SPAL, and Cremonese. His arrival fills a crucial gap in Rapid’s midfield, offering both creativity and steel—qualities the team has sorely lacked in recent weeks.
Sources close to the club revealed that the deal was orchestrated in complete secrecy, with negotiations finalized in under 48 hours. The transfer has sent shockwaves through Romanian football, with rivals scrambling to assess how the move might tilt the balance of power in the title race.
Rapid fans are ecstatic, flooding social media with excitement and optimism. With Valzania’s debut expected in the next fixture, all eyes will be on how quickly he adapts and what this marquee signing means for Rapid’s championship ambitions this
season.
