CFR Cluj centre-back Sheriff Sinyan is being linked with a move across the city to SuperLiga rivals U Cluj, according to fresh transfer speculation in Romania.
The 29-year-old defender, who holds dual nationality with The Gambia and Norway, is listed with a market value of €1.00m and is the subject of growing rumours over a potential intra-city transfer. Data from Transfermarkt on 26 April 2026 records interest from U Cluj, though the probability of the move is currently marked only as “?”, underlining the tentative nature of the talks.
Sinyan’s contractual situation at CFR Cluj is unclear, with no expiry date registered, prompting suggestions he could become a free agent if no new agreement is reached. That possibility has fuelled the notion that U Cluj may seek to secure him either on a cut-price deal or wait to move should his current deal effectively have expired.
The Oslo-born defender, who stands at 1.88m and plays primarily as a right-footed centre-back, wears the number 6 shirt for CFR Cluj. He is currently registered with the Romanian champions in the SuperLiga, having established himself as part of their defensive options. Any switch to U Cluj would therefore represent a direct move between two rival clubs in the same city and division.
Recent match data notes Sinyan’s involvement for CFR Cluj in the current SuperLiga campaign, though specific statistics such as minutes played, goals or assists are not detailed in the latest scrape. There is no indication yet of an agreed fee, pre-contract or formal offer between the clubs.
With his profile, age and €1.00m valuation suggesting he is entering the peak years of his career, a move to U Cluj – whether via transfer or as a free agent – could prove a pivotal step in reshaping his role in Romanian football and redefining his reputation in the SuperLiga if it goes through.
