George Puscas was born on April 8,
\n1996 in Marghita, Bihor County, northwestern Romania, close to the Hungarian
\nBorder. He started to play football for a local club, Liberty Oradea. It was
\nthere that he was scouted by Internazionale Milano, who bought Puscas for 600
\nthousand euros. Puscas completed a training with the club’s under-18 team, and
\nthen the club board moved him to the A team, although he spent a lot of time as
\na substitute. He was on loan to Bari for a season, and was close to securing
\npromotion to Serie A. Inter then loaned Puscas to Benevento, a team which this
\ntime secured promotion to the first Italian league. He then played for Novara
\nin Serie B. Inter then transferred Puscas to Palermo in Serie B, for a
\n3-million-euro fee. After the team was relegated to the fourth-tier league,
\nInter bought back Puscas and transferred him to Reading in Premier League for
\nan overall 10-million-euro fee, marking the most expensive transfer ever made
\nby the English club. And Puscas was worth every penny. This season he scored 6
\ngoals. <\/p>\n
