Gigi Becali had agreed with Hermannstadt for the transfer of Kevin Ciubotaru in exchange for the sum of 450,000 euros and it remained for the discussions with the player to be held after the last stage of this year.
Just that the patron of the champion heard Ciubotaruwho stated the other day that he would rather be tempted by a transfer abroad and that he would talk to FCSB only because he promised so.
In front of the Palace, Becali was disappointed and hinted that he was giving up on the move: “I spoke with Ciubotaru's father. He said we would talk after the match. I understood that the boy spoke and said that he was not coming to FCSB, but out of respect he answered. After that I didn't call his father either, if he didn't come. May he be healthy!”.
In the last few hours, the footballer gave a new interview, in which he insists that he wants the transfer to FCSB.

“We spoke two months ago, of course I wanted to focus on Hermannstadt's matches so I wouldn't have other thoughts and only on these matches. Now, during this holiday period, we will talk.
Yes, I would like to play for FCSB, it is a very good team, it is the champion. Of course, I think that every player wants to play for such a team.
I know players from FCSB because I went to the national team with a few and Politic, I know him very well”, said Kevin Ciubotaru, interviewed at the Christmas Fair in Sibiu by as.ro.
