Burmaz Commits to Rapid
Rapid Bucuresti have secured the long-term future of Serbian striker Borisav Burmaz, with the 25-year-old putting pen to paper on a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2028. The announcement, which was first reported by Gazeta Sporturilor on June 4, has been met with widespread enthusiasm from the Giulești faithful, who have taken the forward into their hearts since his arrival.
Burmaz first joined Rapid in December 2023, and his impact was immediate. The Serbian frontman quickly established himself as one of the most popular figures in the squad, endearing himself to supporters with his tireless work rate, clinical finishing, and genuine connection with the fanbase.
A Remarkable Recovery
What makes this extension particularly significant is the context of Burmaz’s recent career. The striker endured a serious knee injury that kept him sidelined for an extended period. His return to competitive action came on May 4, when he featured in Rapid’s play-off match against CFR Cluj — a testament to his determination and the quality of the club’s medical staff.
The fact that Rapid management moved so decisively to extend his contract, despite the serious injury, speaks volumes about their belief in his ability to return to his best form. For Burmaz, the 2026-27 season will be his fourth in Romanian football, and he will be hoping to build on the promise he showed before his setback.
Fan Favorite in Giulești
Rapid supporters have long appreciated Burmaz’s style of play. His willingness to chase lost causes, his physical presence in the box, and his knack for scoring important goals made him an instant cult hero. The club’s social media announcement was met with a flood of positive comments from fans celebrating the news.
With his contract now secured until 2028, Rapid have ensured that one of their most important attacking assets will remain in place for the foreseeable future. As the club looks to build on recent progress and establish itself among the elite of Romanian football, having a player of Burmaz’s quality committed to the project is a significant boost.
Looking Ahead
The coming season will be crucial for both player and club. For Burmaz, it represents an opportunity to fully regain his form and repay the faith shown in him by the Rapid hierarchy. For Rapid, a fully fit and firing Burmaz could be the difference between challenging for honors and merely competing in mid-table. The Serbian international will be determined to show that the best is yet to come.
