Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, said that on the last day of Mercato in Romania (September 8) he understood with Ioan Varga for the transfer of Louis Munteanu (23 years), but gave up the transfer of the striker from CFR Cluj.
Gigi Becali claims that he could have Louis Munteanu at the moment. He didn't want to say the price he had understood with Varga. However, he considered that there was no point in transferring the footballer right now.
The reason? It could no longer be on the UEFA list for the Europa League matches. He said he would try again to transfer Munteanu to winter.
Gigi Becali could take Louis Munteanu: “I went to one millimeter”
“I was one millimeter of the transfer of Munteanu. Let me say a thing. It remained to be between us. If, for example, I could put it on the list, it was with us. The UEFA list was made, it was with me.
And there is another thing. I could not do medical checkup and all on the last day. He did not ask me about the price because he remained between me and Taty (no Ioan Varga) to stay between us.
I do not say the price, so it remained, not to speak. If I could put it on the UEFA list was already taken. What to take it for? I would take him to do European performance, but if I couldn't go on the list? After he told me mm. What to do, we can't put it on the list.
I don't want to talk about this topic, that's how I agreed with Neluțu. It was the list made, I couldn't put it on. The list was made. I speak everything, but if we agree not to talk, we don't talk. Let's see in winter. That in winter if I qualify further in Europe, after that, yes, it can be put on the list, we discuss. Now there is no point in discussing, “said Gigi Becali, at Fanatik.
Immediately after the return with Aberdeen (August 28), score 3-0, Gigi Becali said he was ready to offer 4.5 million euros in exchange for Louis Munteanu.
