Olimpiu Moruțan joined Rapid with much fanfare at the beginning of the season.

Rapid Makes a Decision: What's Happening with Olimpiu Moruțan?

Currently valued at 2 million euros by specialist sites, Olimpiu Moruțan, who previously played for FCSB, "U" Cluj, and FC Botoșani in Romania, signed a contract with Rapid in the winter that runs until 2027.

Signed in January at Giulești, Moruțan has not yet established himself as a decisive player, with only three key passes and one goal in 17 matches.

Rapid Still Hopes for Olimpiu Moruțan

The 26-year-old midfielder Olimpiu Moruțan was a major transfer for Rapid during the winter transfer window. The Romanian international has not been decisive so far, and expectations are high for the next season.

The club from the Giulești district made a significant financial effort to bring him under the command of Costel Gâlcă, with some sources suggesting he has a monthly salary of around 40,000 euros. Moruțan is expected to perform better in the summer after the pre-season training for the 2026-2027 Superliga season.

According to Sport.ro, some voices in the club remark on the financial effort made to bring Moruțan, who was a talked-about name when it came to playoff contributions.

Morután May Perform Better After Summer Training

This has not yet happened in Moruțan’s case, but it seems Rapid is not making a hasty decision regarding the midfielder. Despite the disappointment around the team, which hoped to win at least one trophy this season, the club is looking at the next championship edition, and Moruțan will be given another chance at Rapid.

The appointment of a new coach is expected, who might know how to make the midfielder valuable and decisive for the team, especially in derby matches.

Rapid believes that Moruțan can be a player who raises the team's rhythm, with the potential to perform better than his stint in Turkey more than a year ago.
