Rapid, under the special request of coach Marius Șumudică, is interested in transferring Denis Drăguș. Turkish media reports that Rapid is expected to contact Trabzonspor at the end of the current season. Denis Drăguș is Șumudică's godson, which could influence the transfer decision. The player's current salary in Turkey is approximately 1.5 million euros annually.

Mihai Stoica mentioned that if Gigi Becali made the offer for Drăguș, Rapid could also make a similar offer, especially since Marius Șumudică is the coach there, which might make the transfer easier than to FCSB.

Marius Șumudică, the coach of Rapid, has shown interest in bringing Denis Drăguș to the club, at least on loan, during the winter transfer window. Nonetheless, Drăguș's agent, Florin Manea, considers this transfer to be a 'fantastic' idea but unlikely to happen. Manea believes that Drăguș will remain at Trabzonspor and find success there. He noted that Trabzonspor would not cover 75% of Drăguș's contract for him to play elsewhere. Manea also pointed out that Drăguș has started scoring goals and needs time to adjust to the demanding league.
