In search of a goalkeeper to compensate for the expected departure to Lille of Benoît Costil, AJ Auxerre has set its sights on the Romanian international Andrei Ionut Radu (2 caps). The 25-year-old doorman should land in Yonne on loan without an option to buy until the end of the season, since common ground has been found in recent hours with Inter Milan.
Recruited at only 16 years old by Inter, the former hope of Steaua Bucharest has chained loans in recent seasons, to Genoa, to Parma then to Cremonese, last in Serie A where he has been playing for a few months. At the very beginning of the transfer window, his name was mentioned in the radars of AS Saint-Etienne (L2) who finally opted for Gautier Larsonneur. Andrei Ionut Radu is expected in Auxerre on Tuesday, where he should pass his medical examination before committing to the current 19th in Ligue 1.
