Bașakșehir targets Răzvan Onea as Rapid offers contract extension

Rapid has offered right-back Răzvan Onea a contract extension, but the player has not yet made a decision regarding his future. According to Digi Sport, Onea is dissatisfied with the salary proposed by Rapid's management and is considering a move abroad. Turkish Süper Lig side Bașakșehir has emerged as a potential destination, with the club seeking to sign him during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Officials from Bașakșehir have already proposed a monthly salary of 30,000 euros to Onea, and this offer has reached Rapid's leadership. For a transfer to materialize in the winter market, the Turkish group must reach a financial agreement with Rapid. If the move does not happen immediately, Bașakșehir could revisit their interest in the summer when Onea would be available as a free agent.

Rapid coach Daniel Pancu recently addressed the situation of players whose contracts are nearing expiration, stating that the club intends to resolve these issues before preparations for the second half of the season begin. However, Pancu declared he knows absolutely nothing about any specific offer for Onea, despite acknowledging the general desire to retain the squad. He described the uncertainty surrounding expiring contracts as an unpleasant situation that requires resolution.

In contrast to the coach's lack of awareness regarding external interest, Rapid president and minority shareholder Victor Angelescu expressed confidence that the defender will remain in Giulești. Speaking to Prima Sport, Angelescu cited Onea's long tenure at the club as a reason for his belief that the player will ultimately choose to extend his deal. This optimism persists despite reports linking the right-back to a departure.

On the pitch, Răzvan Onea has contributed one goal and two assists across the SuperLiga and Cupa României competitions during the current campaign. His performances have coincided with the contractual negotiations and foreign interest, placing his immediate future at the center of discussion between the player, his current employers, and prospective suitors in Turkey.
