A day after the failure with Bosnia and Herzegovina, score 1-3, Gigi Becali (67 years old), the boss of FCSB, spoke again about the interest in bringing Denis Drăguș (26 years old) to the team. However, the footballer's manager has clarified his situation and there is no hope for the financier of the Romanian champion to succeed in moving the footballer who is developing in Turkey.
“I like Drăguș in the band. I can't take him, because I'm taking him. Let him come to FCSB if he didn't get his money there. Speak, Mr. Șumi, that he's your son. Let him come to FCSB. He's the best Romanian footballer at this time”said Becali, after the match in Zenica. In response, his agent clarified the situation and ruled out a transfer of him.

In addition, he also spoke about the financial situation of the player, in the context in which, present in the same show with Gigi Becali, Marius Șumudică, who is Drăguș's godfather, spoke about certain financial problems of the club where the national team player is active. However, the impresario denied this information.
“Denis is Eyupspor's player and he only focuses on that. He has an amazing relationship with the whole club, the team's fans and the city. I don't know where these rumors (not related to financial arrears) came from, I'm sorry.
Denis is only focusing on his dream from the national team, the World Cup, and the Super League with Eyupspor. He comes after a short injury that forced him to be absent from the team because he was in the recovery period”, said manager Enrico Sposato, quoted by prosport.ro.

He is also going through a delicate period of life. I don't want to defend him, but why am I saying this. He left Trabzon where it was difficult for him to play, he had 4 offers and he chose the worst one.
He went to Eyupspor, a team that is fighting for relegation and whose boss is currently under arrest. He hasn't received any money from the summer until now, he's not paid, he has 150,000 a month, and out of respect he says: “I don't want to hurt them”.
I ask him: “But why don't you notify them?”. It was given to him once in 6 months, together, about 80,000 out of 900,000. And he doesn't go out of his common sense and says: “No, because we're in the situation we're in, with relegation, I'm coming too…”
