Remaining free contact after the separation of Concordia Chiajna, for which he checked 14 matches and a goal, Adrian Petre, the striker whom FCSB paid 800,000 euros in 2020, will play this season in Liga 3. He signed with CS Păulești, a team from a commune on the outskirts of Ploiești.

The former international youth, with 18 matches and 5 goals under the tricolor, was a great hope of our football in 2020. Gigi Becali put his eyes on him and transferred from Esbjerg (Denmark), but he gave up after a few months. Since then, the attacker’s career only went down, although several teams have believed in it and gave him a chance: Cosnza, UTA Arad, Farul, Levadiakos, Hermannstadt, then the second division CS Tunari and Concordia Chiajna. Moreover, while he was at the last of these, Adrian Petre announced that he was withdrawing, being hardly convinced to return to the decision. From 1.3 million euros, as much as it was worth in 2020, now the striker is valued by the transfermarkt site for only 50,000 euros.
Tormented by injuries
“At this moment, Adi Petre signed a contract with CS Păulești. The contract is more related to his medical return. He had some problems and could not play at the level he wanted. We decided to help each other. I want to promote in Liga 2.
Adi is fine, scores goals in friendly parties. Of course, it is above the level of Liga 3. It has some problems at the back, a small disc herniation. His problems have been treated superficially, and now it is under treatment and is on the right track.
I say we’ll see another Adrian Petre this season. He needs confidence. Must be supported. It is a perfect age for him, to realize the mistakes he has made. Has peace here, has everything ”said the owner of the CS Păulești club, Claudiu Blaga, according to digisport.ro.
