Negotiations with Al Shabab were led by director Pavel Nedved, but the transfer did not materialize as they decided to pursue other options. According to his agent, Pastorello, it seemed that all opportunities were closed until the weekend, when injuries to four goalkeepers created an opening for Radu at Venezia. The unfortunate injury of Filip Stankovic played a crucial role in Radu's transfer to Venezia, especially as other transfer avenues had closed. Radu acknowledged the mixed emotions of advancing his career due to a colleague's misfortune but expressed his determination to prove himself at Venezia, a club recommended by Stankovic, whom he regards as a younger brother. Radu's outstanding performances, including being named the best player in the match against Como, confirmed the wisdom of his decision to remain in Italy and join Venezia.
