Inverness Caley Thistle's director of football, Graeme Bennett, says the club have secured a good deal in agreeing a £500,000 fee with Dinamo Bucharest for Marius Niculae.
The 27-year-old Romania striker was only halfway through a two-year contract with the SPL club, but decided that he wanted to take the opportunity to return to his homeland.
Bennett, told the Press & Journal: "It is a straight deal, although Marius is entitled to a percentage of it. It represents a good deal for the club and the player.
"Over the last few days when I met with Marius it became clear he wanted to go back to Romania.
"Kaiserslautern were very professional to deal with, but Marius was not keen on going there and was desperate to sign for Dinamo Bucharest.
"It was a slow process with them but we finally agreed a deal."
