Kenneth Omeruo Linked With CFR Cluj Move Amid Free Agency Status

Kenneth Omeruo Linked With CFR Cluj Move Amid Free Agency Status

Veteran Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo could be on his way to Romanian giants CFR Cluj, as the 31-year-old seeks a fresh challenge following his February exit from Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig.

According to Transfermarkt, CFR Cluj have expressed concrete interest in signing the experienced centre-back, who has also been linked with potential moves back to Turkey and even Major League Soccer (MLS).

🧳 Free Agent, Still in Demand

After mutually terminating his contract with Kasimpasa earlier this year, Omeruo has remained without a club — but not without admirers. With a resume that includes spells in England (Chelsea & Middlesbrough), Spain (CD Leganés), and the Netherlands, the Nigeria international offers a wealth of top-flight experience and defensive leadership.

CFR Cluj — eight-time Romanian champions — are reportedly eyeing Omeruo as part of their defensive rebuild ahead of the 2025/26 season, particularly as they push for a return to European competition.

💬 OPINION: Is Romania the Right Next Step for Omeruo?

While some may view a move to the Romanian league as a step down, for a free agent at 31, this could be a smart, strategic move. CFR Cluj are consistent title contenders, and the league provides European exposure — particularly in the UEFA Conference League.

For Omeruo, it’s not just about game time; it’s about reclaiming rhythm and possibly earning a spot in Nigeria’s squad for the next AFCON qualifiers or even the 2026 World Cup journey.

⏳ What’s Next?

No formal agreement has been announced yet, but talks are expected to intensify in the coming weeks. A short-term deal with an option for extension could be on the table, especially if Cluj qualify for European play.
