Andrei Nicolescu, the president of Dinamo, spoke about the offers the club had for Cătălin Cîrjan (23 years old) and Alexandru Musi (21 years old), the main offensive weapons of the “dogs”.
According to Andrei Nicolescu, they had an offer of 3 million euros for Cătălin Cîrjan, including bonuses, but the player was classified as non-transferable. Also, in the name of Alexandru Musi, an offer came from Turica, “for good money for Romania”, but the “dogs” did not follow up on the offer.
Andrei Nicolescu also revealed the fact that in an internal discussion with the shareholders it was established that an amount of 5 million euros would say “yes” for the departure of captain Cătălin Cîrjan.
Andrei Nicolescu, about the offers for Alexandru Musi and Cătălin Cîrjan: “It's a matter of vision, of construction”
“No player from Dinamo has a termination clause. We only have one, who was transferred this summer. It's better that way at the moment when we have to build. We have to raise the quota of the players and the club a lot and only then put such clauses.
I had an offer from Sturm Graz 3 million with bonuses for Cîrjan, yes. This summer he was non-transferable.
From an internal discussion, 5 million for Cîrjan would be the amount for which the shareholders would say yes.
There is one more example. Someone came for Musi recently. Likewise, Musi is not transferable at this time.
Somehow, only if we receive an offer that breaks the psychological threshold of the shareholders and ours, then we say yes. Otherwise, there is no point. We want to build.
For Musi it was from Turkey. It was good money for Romania, but it didn't make sense.
It's a matter of vision, of construction. If we had a lot of money, then it was easy and we would take this and that, but that's not how it's built,” Andrei Nicolescu said, according to orangesport.ro.
Cătălin Cîrjan is the captain of Dinamo and one of the exponential players of the last two seasons. Brought from Rapid in the summer of 2024, Cîrjan quickly integrated into the “pack”. He collected 68 games, 12 goals and 7 assists. The good developments brought him including his debut with the national team in October of the recently concluded year. It is quoted by specialist websites at 2.5 million euros, so Dinamo would accept an offer double its market share.
Alexandru Musi arrived in the summer of 2025 at Dinamo from rival FCSB, in a transaction in which Dinamo chose the footballer and almost a million euros, while FCSB chose Dennis Politic. Musi ticked off 17 matches in the shirt of the “dogs”, 5 goals and 3 decisive assists. He is a youth international. It is quoted by specialized websites at 1.3 million euros.
