CFR Cluj owner, Victor Pițurcă, has explained the reason behind the club's decision to drop talks with Moroccan midfielder, Hakim Ziyech. According to Pițurcă, the discussions were halted due to concerns over Ziyech's character.

Pițurcă stated that he had been impressed by Ziyech's football abilities, but had reservations about the player's perceived attitude and behavior. He mentioned that Ziyech was referred to as a "special boy" by some people, but Pițurcă was unsure if this was a positive or negative trait.

Pițurcă emphasized that the decision to end talks with Ziyech was not taken lightly, and that the club had considered the player's potential benefits to the team. However, he ultimately decided that the risks associated with Ziyech's character outweighed the potential rewards.

The CFR Cluj owner acknowledged that Ziyech is a talented player, but expressed concerns that his personality might create difficulties within the team. Pițurcă stated that the club's priority is to build a cohesive and harmonious squad, and that Ziyech's character did not align with this goal.

Pițurcă's comments provide insight into the decision-making process behind CFR Cluj's decision to drop talks with Ziyech. While the player's football abilities are undeniable, it appears that his personality was a major factor in the club's decision.
