Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, said that he is thinking of offering a contract extension to the right defender Valentin Crețu, who will be 37 years old in January.
Valentin Crețu started the Ovidiu match on the bench, won by FCSB 2-1. He took Pantea's place in the 62nd minute. At the end of the game, Gigi Becali went live and said that it is possible that the defender's contract will be extended. Crețu's current contract with Bucharest expires at the end of 2026.
Gigi Becali: “I think I will extend Vali Crețu's contract”
“For Crețu, I think I will extend his contract. If I saw that Pantea is emotional, put me in Crețu, that he has no emotions, even if he still makes mistakes. Crețu makes the lane, father! He goes up there, the poor man doesn't know how to cross, but he does the lane, he goes up. I will extend his contract”, said Gigi Becali, on Prima Sport.
Crețu is the oldest player in the champion team, as Florin Tănase left and returned in 2024. The defender arrived at FCSB in 2019, when Becali paid Gaz Metan the sum of 125,000 euros.

He has played 221 matches for FCSB so far, scoring one goal and providing 16 assists.
Gigi Becali expects Dennis Politic to “explode”: He will be a football player”
Gigi Becali is convinced that Dennis Politic, who has yet to convince at FCSB, will become an important footballer for his team:
“I think that when he gets into his hands, he will be a football player. I think so. Now, for example, I will put him in the Cup, so that he can play 2-3 matches, so that he can get into his rhythm. His qualities, that departure from the spot… That's his, in his muscles, in his nature.

And those executions, no one can take them away. It's true, he has emotions too, poor thing, he hasn't achieved anything since he's been here. He feels too, that he is a boy with common sense, but I still trust him. Okay, that doesn't mean I trust 5 years,” Becali also said.
