Louis Munteanu is doing everything he can to force a move away this summer.
Munteanu refused to play for Cluj at the weekend and has been the subject of plenty of interest abroad.
A striker is one of the areas that Brendan Rodgers is hoping to bolster and while there are European clubs also looking at Munteanu, Cluj aren’t giving up without a fight and have reminded the 23-year-old that he can’t get what he wants.

Louis Munteanu fined for missing training
In an attempt to make Cluj give into his demands, the Romania international decided to go ‘AWOL’ and hasn’t reported for training.
Romanian outlet GSP said that Munteanu had been fined €10,000 (£8,600) for missing training.
He has since returned after Romania national team boss Mircea Lucescu persuaded him to go back after telling him that he wouldn’t be able to call up Munteanu for their international games against Canada and Cyprus.
Is Louis Munteanu’s behaviour affecting his own form?
Celtic want a goal scorer to come in and lead the line.
On paper, Munteanu fits that bill after scoring 23 times last season, but that’s not quite the case this time around.
Munteanu has only played in nine of Cluj’s 15 games this season and has just one goal to his name so far.
That’s not the sort of form that you would expect from someone tipped to bag 20 plus goals and the professionalism shown so far in order to try and force a move through isn’t one that fills people with confidence.
