‘O Jogo’ daily wrote on Tuesday that fullback Cristian Sapunaru, the player who signed a five-year contract with FC Porto, will have an annual wage of EUR 400,000 while playing for the Portuguese title holders.
‘O Jogo’ notes that initially the agreement should have spanned four years, but eventually the sides agreed for five seasons after negotiations between the player, his sports agent and Antero Henrique, FC Porto’s general director. ‘After the singing of the contract Sapunaru went to the Romanian consulate in Germany, where FC Porto has its training camp, in order to make his transfer official. Then he and Antero Henrique went to the training camp where Sapunaru then trained alongside his new team mates. Sapunaru’s physical condition will not be a problem for Coach Jesualdo Ferreira because the fullback already trained with Rapid. Ferreira said that Sapunaru is a strong, calm player that knows his place in the team very well. He could be used in Wednesday’s friendly game against PAOK Thessalonica,’ the Portuguese daily wrote.
