Sorhaindo signed two years at … Dinamo Bucharest!

Cédric Sorhaindo (36) will leave FC Barcelona in the offseason for Romania and Dinamo Bucharest. The French international hub has signed a two-year contract for the Romanian club. A very surprising choice.

Cédric Sorhaindo will continue his career in… Romania. The former Blues captain will join Dinamo Bucharest next season. Today at FC Barcelona, ​​the 36-year-old French international pivot has committed for two years to the Romanian club, announced the latter on Monday on social networks. After eleven seasons in Catalonia, where he notably won two Champions League (for 42 titles in total, including ten championships, five Club World Championships and eight Copa del Rey), the Martinican, who will celebrate his 37 years in June, took most of the specialists on the wrong foot by choosing the colors of the champion of Romania for what could have all of a last contract in career. Not retained by Barça, Sorhaindo was thus expected in clubs much more prestigious than Dinamo Bucharest, admittedly sixteen times crowned nationally but which did not do better on the European level than an EHF Cup semi-final. , in 2004. Above all, the player who left for Barcelona in 2010 after having known Angers, Paris and Toulouse in France gave the feeling of being able to aspire to a championship on a different scale than that of Romania, where Dinamo no longer has any real rival or competition for four years and where it seems already acquired (except another huge recruit) that Sorhaindo will not be able to dream of climbing again on the roof of Europe.

Sorhaindo was expected in France

The Olympic champion, quadruple world champion and double gold medalist at the European Championship with the Blues had extended his contract for a year last season at Barça (with the assurance that it would be the last). At the time, many French clubs had done everything to try to convince him to return to Lidl Starligue. This had not been done, but the meeting seemed only postponed, before the pivot to 220 international matches (425 goals) decided to head to Bucharest, where he could therefore complete a career in permanent ascension. A choice that is likely to do a lot of talking.
