Gigi Becali claims that CFR Cluj “inflated” the amount for the transfer of Louis Munteanu: “I don't believe it”

DC United announced the official transfer fee: 7 million dollars, approximately 6 million euros

FCSB boss, ironic about Varga's business: “If you get 6 from 3 million, it's extraordinary”

Asked about the amount collected by Neluțu Varga, Gigi Becali declared himself skeptical:

“It's extraordinary, if you get 6 from 3 million, it's great. What should I get into? It's their business. I, for one, don't think so, but why comment? That's what suits them, it means it's good.”

The boss of the red-blues emphasized that he himself was interested in the striker, for whom he made the biggest purchase offer since he entered football.

Gigi Becali: “I offered 4.5 million, no more”

“Louis is a real footballer. We had made an offer of 4 million for him, then we went to about 4.5 million. I have never made a bigger offer, only for Florinel Coman, 3 million. That's it”, declared Gigi Becali, during the Digi Sport Special show.

4.5million euros is the market share of Louis Munteanu, according to Transfermarkt
