Is George Puscas Related To Ferenc Puskas? Wife and Family

George Puscas is not related to Ferenc Puskas despite both the players having a common last name. 

There is no evidence uncovered that verifies he shares a bloodline with one of “the greatest players of all time.” So far, there has been nothing that establishes his relation with Ferenc Puskas. 

The fuss started on social media when a Twitter user uploaded a tweet in April 2015. The user posted two pictures, one of George and one of Ferenc, and captioned, “18-year George Puscas…A real footballer’s name. No relation to Ferenc, I believe.”

After that, it attracted lots of attention as many football fans became eager to find out if the young player was the blood of a legendary football player. The Romanians forward, though he addressed the concern a few times during his interviews, has never clearly denied the fact that they could be blood-related.

Whenever anyone from the press is about to ask him regarding the relation with Ferenc, he states he does not like to be linked or draw parallels with him and their last name being common has nothing to do with their relationship. He even said once, “To be honest, I am Romanian and have nothing to do with his name. I’ll do it my way. I’ll be the Romanian Puscas.”

Are Puscas And Puskas, The Same?

Some might argue that they cannot be related as their family name is not precisely the same. Though the pronunciation is the same, their spelling is different. And they are partially correct. George’s last name has the word “C” in the middle while Ferenc’s Puskas has the word “K,” so how can they be the same?

Well, George, although born in Romania, he is of half Hungarian descent, and his last name Puscas is derived from Hungarian Puskas, and that is the reason he draws a resemblance with Ferenc Puskas.

George Puscas is not married. He lives a single life with his family, so he has no girlfriend or wife. 

The 26-year-old striker is open about his personal life with the media and his fans; hence his love life cannot go unnoticed, and there is nothing their fans would not know if he has a girlfriend. 

Besides, her sister Deea Puscas, a model and entrepreneur, married Cristi Pop. Her husband has an Instagram account with the user name @money4myhoney_, and he gets along with George. 

Deea’s wedding was held in Romania in August 2019, and the Reading star has uploaded glimpses of the ceremony on his Instagram. Other than that, most of his uploads are pictures and videos from his football games and vacations. 

Puscas is more into revitalizing his lost form and shaping his shaky career into a solid one rather than disturbing his focus on marriage and raising his wife and children. He is still young and can pull out what he showed he could during his time at Inter when he was young.

According to Salary Sport, George Puscas has an estimated net worth of $2.3 million (£2.1 million) as of 2022.

Pușcaș became Reading’s most expensive player in the club’s history when he agreed to a five-year deal with Reading in August 2019 for a fee of $7.8 million dollar and $2 million in incentives. Speaking of his salary, he makes £728,000 a year as per his contract with the Championship side.

However, following three dismal seasons at Reading, the Romanian striker has been keen to leave the club this summer. Financial issues delay Puscas’ exit, even though he is one of the club’s better earners and has two years left on his contract.

Reading made a loan deal to transfer Puscas with Serie B side Genoa in the final week of the transfer window. The forward signed a loan agreement with the Italian club for the whole season, with the option to purchase him in the summer following the transfer.

George Puscas Career Earnings 

George Puscas was born in the rural Romanian countryside to his parents. He grew up with a brother and a sister.

The 26-year-old thanks his parents, who raised him from the ground up in a small village in Romania, for providing him with the essential support and direction that helped him develop his profession.

As a youth, his chances of graduating from a professional academy were slim because he was raised in a rural area of Romania where facilities were scarce. However, he has made it to the top thanks to his talent, tenacity, and dedication to his career.

Puscas said he is the only one in his family and neighborhood to embrace a footballing career, and the path to a senior career has been arduous. His father motivated him all the time and was the one to believe in him, thus making his dream a reality.
