Florin Tanase set to join Omonia Nicosia

Romanian attacking midfielder Florin Tanase has arrived in Cyprus to finalize his transfer to Omonia Nicosia. The 31-year-old player decided to activate a release clause in his contract with FCSB (Steaua Bucharest), allowing him to depart as a free agent without a transfer fee, despite having two years remaining on his deal. The move follows recent internal tensions at his former club, where he was reportedly separated from training after a disagreement.

According to media reports, Tanase has signed a contract with the Cypriot side with an estimated monthly salary of 60,000 euros, effectively doubling his previous earnings. The veteran player has already passed his medical examinations in Cyprus and is expected to be officially unveiled shortly. Tanase, who previously played for Al Jazira and is a product of Gheorghe Hagi’s academy, stated that he chose to join Omonia due to its rich history and the opportunity to compete in European tournaments. He also noted that he consulted with Omonia manager Ilias Charalambous before making his final decision.
