Tidiane Keita has become a player for CFR 1907 Cluj, the historic Romanian SuperLiga club, as of August 2. The French-Guinean midfielder joins from FC Petrolul Ploiești, another top-flight Romanian side, signing a three-year contract.

A product of the French football system, Tidiane Keita climbed the ranks of the professional game, notably featuring for US Orléans in Ligue 2 before taking on a new challenge abroad in Romania. With FC Petrolul Ploiești, Keita quickly established himself as a key figure in midfield. His consistency, work rate, and anticipation caught the eye of CFR Cluj’s scouts.

Multiple-time Romanian champions in recent years, CFR Cluj is determined to reclaim the top spot after a mixed season. Signing Keita fits perfectly with their targeted reinforcement strategy, aiming to regain national supremacy and shine on the European stage, particularly in the Conference League.

With this move, Tidiane Keita takes a significant step forward in his career. The chance to play for a club accustomed to European competitions could also open the door to a first-ever call-up for the Guinea national team.
