Two days ago, former Romania international Basarab Panduru had urged Adrian Mazilu to leave Brighton & Hove Albion on loan in the winter market.
He also insisted the 18-year-old isn’t ready for the Premier League and has to continue his development elsewhere.
Last summer, the Seagulls agreed a deal with Farul Constanța for the winger to arrive at The Amex in January. He’s now finished his spell at the Romanian club and has already talked about his excitement of arriving at Brighton.
Orange Sport now have a report on the youngster and their title says ‘Goodbye, Brighton’.
This information has been provided by Farul Constanța president, Gheorghe Popescu, who says the Romania U21 international’s immediate future will be away from Brighton.
He has also explained why this would benefit the young attacker and why Mazilu will need an ‘intermediate step’, before arriving in England.
“According to our information, he will be loaned out to the top flight in Belgium or the Netherlands,” he told Orange Sport.
“It’s very difficult to play from our league [to] directly impact in the Premier League. I don’t think there’s any player from us who can do that. I think they want to take this intermediate step.”
“He’s a forward, he’s 18 years old, and he needs this intermediate stage and I think it’s very good that he is loaned to a middle-level championship. He is a player with intermediate qualities and I am convinced that he will do very well. He will certainly prepare for the next step, which will be the Premier League.”
If this claim were to be true, Mazilu will have to wait at least several months to fulfil his “dream” of debuting in the Premier League.
