Becali feud heats up after transfer of Olimpiu Moruțan to Rapid The feud between Ioan Becali and his son Gigi Becali has escalated after the transfer of player Olimpiu Moruțan to Rapid București. Ioan, former manager of Rapid, accused his son of giving Moruțan to the club as a ‘gift’ and claimed the move was intended to benefit Rapid’s rivals. Gigi denied the allegations, saying he had only handed the player over to a friend and that the transfer was legitimate. The dispute came to light when Rapid secured a 2‑1 victory over UTA Arad in the 23rd round of the SuperLiga, with Moruțan making his debut for the team. The conflict has drawn media attention and raised questions about the conduct of the Becali family in Romanian football. While Ioan maintains that the transfer was a deliberate act against Rapid, Gigi insists that he acted in good faith and that the player’s performance should speak for itself. The clash underscores the intense rivalry between the Becalis and highlights the broader issues of player movement and family influence in Romanian football.
