It is now certain that Horatiu Moldovan will leave Sassuolo. The Romanian goalkeeper had arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid to fill the void left by Stefano Turati, who opted to stay in Serie A and compete with Monza. After initially being on the bench behind Satalino for the first two matches, Moldovan eventually secured the starting spot, confirming his quality and personality as an excellent goalkeeper.
These factors led many to believe the *neroverde* club might negotiate with the Spanish side for a potential permanent transfer, but things haven`t unfolded that way in recent weeks. The Emilians surprisingly seem focused on developing Turati, despite his decision not to defend the team`s goalposts this season.
However, Moldovan`s departure could occur even earlier than the natural loan expiration date set for June 30th. The *colchoneros* reportedly want the Romanian goalkeeper available for the Club World Cup, a competition in which Simeone`s team will debut on June 15th. The Spanish club will now need to negotiate with Sassuolo to secure the early release of the current number 31, who is also eager to showcase himself to find a suitable placement for next year.
