Kenneth Omeruo Signs for CFR Cluj, Eyes Europa League Comeback
Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo has completed a move to Romanian Cup winners CFR Cluj, signing a one-year deal as the club prepares for UEFA Europa League action in the new season.
The 31-year-old centre-back joined Cluj as a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Turkish side Kasimpasa earlier this year. Now fully recovered from a career-threatening knee injury, Omeruo is ready to relaunch his career at the highest level.
Cluj Confident in Omeruo’s Experience and Quality
CFR Cluj President Cristi Balaj welcomed the Nigerian international, praising his pedigree and leadership.
“Kenneth Omeruo is top quality. We believe he can return to his best form soon,” said Balaj, reflecting the club’s confidence in the experienced defender.
Omeruo brings a wealth of experience across European football, having previously played for Chelsea, Middlesbrough, CD Leganés, Alanyaspor, and Dutch side ADO Den Haag. His versatility and composure at the back will be crucial as CFR Cluj look to make a deep run in Europe.
A Comeback Story for the Super Eagles Star
The move also marks a personal victory for Omeruo, who has fought back from a long-term injury that once threatened to end his playing days. His return to competitive football—and to continental competition—comes at a vital time as the Super Eagles gear up for crucial international fixtures.
With Kenneth Omeruo now at CFR Cluj, fans will be watching closely to see how the seasoned defender adapts to Romanian football and helps his new side on both domestic and European fronts.
