Denis Alibec (34 years old) has no future at FCSB. Mihai Stoica (60 years old) announced his departure this winter, after the striker did not provide the expected performance. Through the voice of patron Valeriu Iftime, FC Botosani is the first Superliga club that has expressed its intention to transfer him.
Alibec has not played for the Romanian champions for two months due to an injury. He failed to impose himself, then he was accused by Becali that he operated without notifying the club. Now he is wanted by Iftime in Botoșani.
Denis Alibec, wanted by FC Botoșani, after FCSB announced his departure: “I will talk to Leo”
Iftime announces that it will start discussions for the transfer of Denis Alibec, but the final OK must be given by coach Leo Grozavu.
“We need a central striker. We don't have much time to search either, because this winter break is not that long.
I had a discussion with Leo Grozavu about Alibec. I asked him to think about this option and give me his opinion.
I consider Alibec a player who can help us a lot, and if Leo gives me a positive answer, then I will try to see what transfer possibility I could find to bring Alibec to us”, said Iftime, for prosport.ro.
Denis Alibec has played 13 games this season for FCSB, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

Vladislav Blănuță, realistic desire or impossible transfer? “I like him”
If the transfer of Alibec does not take place, Iftime has also set its eyes on Vladislav Blănuță (23 years old), the top of Dinamo Kiev “tatonated” by Dinamo Bucharest during this winter break.
The problem in this case is represented by the fact that the player has already played for two clubs this season, FCU Craiova (one match in League 3) and Dinamo Kyiv. As the Oltenians were disaffiliated, it is still unclear if the footballer can wear the shirt of the third club.
“Look, even Blanuța, the one who was at FCU, is a good striker for us. At FCU and U Cluj he played very well, and I like Blanuța.
He is now at Dynamo Kyiv and I saw that he doesn't play much there. I see that Dinamo is also interested in him. Unfortunately, in Romania there are not many Romanian strikers of this profile in the first league. If we're not going to find an internal solution, then it's clear that we have to turn to foreign tracks as well”, added Iftime, for the quoted source.

It will be a very heated second part of the season because it will be a battle both up there and in the fight to save from relegation.
Now the wheel has turned and we are no longer fighting to save ourselves from relegation, a situation in which we have been for the last two years. Leo Grozavu managed to turn many people's calculations upside down.
