Gigi Becali (66 years old), the owner of FCSB, is willing to make any financial effort, if the team he runs will qualify in the Champions League groups. He has decided and is ready to increase the salaries of the players, if they have performance at European level in the next season.
Like last season, FCSB starts on the road in the preliminary round of the Champions League, where the red-blue is going to meet on Inter Club D'Acaldeschampion in Andorra. FCSB will host the first leg. The match was scheduled on July 9, from 8:30 pm. The return will take place on July 15, in Andorra.
Gigi Becali increases salaries at FCSB, if the team arrives in the Champions League groups
“I told MM that if we qualify in the Champions League, from the year I increase the salaries. I give 600,000 – 700,000 euros to the year, to all the players.
I give salaries of 30,000 – 40,000 euros per month. You can't perform on low salaries to perform. You have to give a Romanian player, who wants to go outside, 60,000 euros a month. I mean, 800,000 euros per season and is no longer thinking about leaving.
That's what I have to do, if I want to fight with them. I have to pick up the pole. If I do not pick it up, I remain at the level of the Europa League, “said Gigi Becali, at the show” Digi Sport Special “, from Digi Sport.
