Where will Budescu play?
GSP.ro sources convey that Budescu was contacted during this period by the newly promoted FC Argeș and Metalogolobus. In Pitesti he would work again with Dani Coman and Bogdan Andone, with whom he was intersected at Astra.
Budescu was also called by several clubs in the second step. He is about to make a decision to come up with the next days.
“I want to play more”
Asked about his future, Budescu confirmed that he is not thinking about withdrawal.
“I still prepare, I want to play. I have some discussions with a few teams, there is nothing concrete, I don't rush. After an age it is good to train and play less.
I try to prepare as much as I can, but the training is not compared to yourself with the one you do with a team.
Everything is possible, I am free of contract. I saw that there are teams in the cantonment and in Brasov, it is not far, I do an hour and a little.
I don't have to leave. Home what to do? I have nothing to do!”, Constantin Budescu told As.ro.

- In 2017, the best Romanian footballer in the Sports Gazette was appointed.
3 failures in Budescu's career:

- No confirmed abroad and not played at all in Europe – at Dalian Yifang (China), Al Shabab and Damac (Saudi Arabia) did not accommodate with the environment and resisted a little, each time choosing to return to Romania quickly;
- He gave Chix when he returned to FCSB and Oil.
