Ghanaian midfielder Amin Ziblim has made a significant move to Romanian top-flight side CFR Cluj, signing a three-year contract with the club. The 20-year-old joins the former Romanian champions on a free transfer after bringing his spell at second-tier side Muscelul Câmpulung to an end.
Ziblim's journey to Europe began in 2024 when he moved from Ghanaian outfit MŠK Žilina Africa, the feeder club of Slovak side MŠK Žilina. Initially, he featured for Žilina's B team before securing a loan move to Muscelul Câmpulung, where he established himself as a key player, making 20 league appearances in Romania's second tier. His performances earned him a trial with CFR Cluj at the end of the season.
Confirming the signing, CFR Cluj wrote on their official social media channels: "We are happy to announce that, starting today, Amin Ziblim is our new player! Aged 20, Amin plays as a central midfielder. "Last season, he played for Muscelul Câmpulung in the 2nd League, where he made 20 appearances. Formed at MŠK Žilina Africa, a satellite club of the Slovak team MŠK Žilina, Amin later made the step to Europe, playing for the team in Slovakia. "Having been in trials since the team's reunion, Amin trained with our team and played in yesterday's friendly match against Neftchi Baku. We wish him a welcome and many achievements with CFR Cluj"
The three-year deal marks a significant milestone in Ziblim's career as he prepares for his first campaign in Romania's top flight with one of the country's most successful clubs. This move could potentially be a stepping stone for Ziblim to further his football career, and his performances in the Romanian top flight will be closely monitored by fans and scouts alike.
Ghanaian football fans will be eagerly watching Ziblim's progress in the Romanian top flight, and this move serves as a testament to the growing talent pool of young Ghanaian players making waves in European football. As CFR Cluj looks to continue their successful run in the Romanian top flight, Ziblim's addition to the team will undoubtedly bring fresh energy and competition to the squad.
The coming weeks will be crucial for Ziblim as he adapts to his new surroundings and adjusts to the pace of the Romanian top flight. With his technical skills and experience in the second tier, Ziblim is well-positioned to make an impact at CFR Cluj and potentially become a key player in the team's title push.
