Halenar at Poli (?)

According to onlinesport.ro, the Slovakian striker Juraj Halenar - who has in talks with the club this summer - will be joining Poli during the winter break. Rumors had been going about for a while about this transfer, but until the club confirms it, I suppose it is no more than a rumor.

Halenar, who plays for Artemdia Bratislava, is currently the top scorer of the Slovakian first league, with 12 goals this season in 16 games this season.

P.S. Poli president Marian Iancu dismissed these rumors, saying that the club hasn't been in contact with Artmedia for the player since the summer transfer attempt and that it would be very difficult to acquire his services after the fine performances he has delivered this season.

P.P.S. Romanian newspaper Fanatik wrote that Halenar's transfer to Poli is already a done deal, our team paying 500.000 Euro for the Slovakian. The player himself would receive 150.000 a year, having signed a three year contract. Unforuntately, Fanatik isn't the most reliable of sources and - to be frank - 500.000 seems like a small sum for a player in Halenar's form.
