Louis Munteanu addresses transfer talk amid reported Celtic bid

Louis Munteanu insists he is 'bored' of transfer speculation amid reports of a recent bid by Celtic.

The CFR Cluj forward looks set to leave the Romanian giants this summer, with a big-money move on the cards. 

Reports emerged from Munteanu's homeland last week that the Hoops had submitted an offer of around £6.9m for the striker who scored 25 goals in all competitions last season.

However, owner Nelutu Varga declared that only an offer of upwards of £15m would be accepted, as he said an unnamed club from France were closing in on a deal. 

He told Pro Sport: "I won't say the club, because that's how we agreed. They are professionals and they want to present him, as is normal.

"I think the transfer will be resolved in a few days."

However, the 21-year-old admits he's focussed on Cluj, as he's 'bored' of being reminded about the speculation.

Speaking post-match, he said: "I'm a little behind with my preparation, but with training I hope to catch up. It's not very pleasant on the bench, but that's it. I'll do my job.

"If the thought of a transfer flew into my head, I would no longer be here. The thought is not in my head.

"I want to tell you honestly, I'm bored of so many numbers being discussed. I'm here at Cluj."
