Romanian giants, CFR Cluj are reportedly interested in signing Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo.
Omeruo has been without a club since parting ways with Turkish side Kasımpaşa in January . CFR Cluj are looking to bolster their defensive options ahead of next season as they aim to reclaim the Liga I title for the first time in three years.
Primarily a centre-back, Omeruo is also capable of playing as a right-back.
His defensive attributes—particularly his ability to read the game and intercept dangerous plays—make him a valuable asset for any backline.
The potential move could be appealing to Omeruo, especially with CFR Cluj set to compete in the 2025/26 UEFA Europa Conference League.
The 30-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the table.
He made his debut for Nigeria at just 19, won the Africa Cup of Nations at 20, and has featured in several major tournaments including the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Most recently, he was part of the Super Eagles squad that finished as runners-up at the 2023 AFCON.
If the transfer materialises, it would be a free move—an added bonus for CFR Cluj as they seek to strengthen their squad for next season.
