UPDATED:




Callum O'Dowda has completed a permanent transfer to Hungarian side Ferencváros TC for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

The Republic of Ireland international joined the Bluebirds in the summer of 2022 and made 94 appearances for the Club, scoring six times







Cardiff City star Callum O'Dowda is set to complete a move away to a European club.

Fans favourite and he played 42 times last season for the Bluebirds.


The Wage bill has dramatically been Reduced and so far No new players in.

More players set to leave as Tan reduces the wage bill and wants Murphy to rely on the younger players and under 21’s coming through.


The Bluebirds winger, who has predominantly played his football at left back in recent times, has been missing from pre-season training this week, prompting many supporters to speculate over the reason why that might be the case. And the Republic of Ireland international will be the first senior, contracted star out the door.





11 PLAYERS OUT SO FAR:


Cardiff City striker Roko Simic has left the club on loan to join German side Karlsruher SC for 2025-26.

Striker Michael Reindorf has joined Newport County on loan.

Club captain Joe Ralls released and Andy Rinomhota released.

Aaron Ramsey Released.

Jamilu Collins, Raheem Conte, Anwar El Ghazi, Kieron Evans, Dimitrios Goutas and Yakou Méïté all released.

O'Dowda, 30, signed a new Cardiff deal at the beginning of the year, which sees him contracted to the Bluebirds until 2028 and would see him command a fee should he seal his exit.

This is disappointing. The club will be well within their SMCP cap as to what it could potentially pay in salaries - so I can only assume (after his effort last season) he wanted a new change.

I’m very very disappointed

But can’t blame him under Tan and a manager from Rochdale , I would be gone

All the best Callum O'Dowda.

Probably my favourite player, gave his absolute all every game and one of those professionals who's really good to have about the place for the youngsters in the squad. Gutted he's going.

Defo need to strengthen down that left side now.

12 left yes, but of the 12 we’d probably only want to keep Rhino and COD. So all in all, not so bad.

This is disappointing but expected.

He gave his all so I'll wish I'm luck.

The only player to leave so far that I'm disappointed about.

12 left by looks no one replacing them this signals no funds for new players it's obvious how can an inexperinced coach like bbm deliver promotion I have my doubts sorry not convinced by the appointment just because someone talks nice on video I've heard it all before nothing new he needs to convince me he's the bees knees time will finally tell

There will be no signings so stop lying by saying there's no funds - it's simply not true.

Can you prove there's funds to spend on players I doubt it

Now we are starting to offload the better quality players in the squad.
Don't expect too much out of the coming season if this continues!

You talking about spin :lol:

You literally spin everything as bad news. You're a pathetic poster.

It's not good news but it is expected.
