Mamadou Thiam, favorite to play in FCSB – FC Argeș
As Alibec is not yet 100% physically, FCSB now has only one “9” on Bîrligea. It will be used in the “double” of the red-blue with Aberdeen in the Europa League play-off in the championship.
So there are high chances that Thiam immediately debut at FCSB, even in the weekend match with FC Argeș, on Sunday, 21:30, counting for the 7th round of Liga 1.
In the European Cups, the Senegalese will have the right to play with the main painting in the Europa League/Conference League, as it is not included on the red-blue list for UEL play-off.
€ 30,000It's the monthly salary with which Becali convinced Thiam to paraphrase the contract with FCSB
