Denis Alibec (34 years old) seems to have his days numbered at FCSBteam where he failed to establish himself, after the summer transfer. He got another chance, but if he doesn't take advantage of it, the breakup is imminent. All this time, the player refused to go to FC Botoșani, where he was called by Valeriu Iftime (65 years old).
The president of the Superliga revelation, Valeriu Iftime, had a discussion with the striker from FCSB, in the context in which he was drawn to the champion team, and his name was linked to a possible move to another team in the first league. He was even offered to come to the group from Moldova, but Alibec refused, hoping for a final recovery at FCSB.
Denis Alibec said “no” to FC Botoșani
“Alibec does not come to Botoșani. At the moment, I had a very polite discussion with him, the child told me that he is not free. If he will be free, he must think.
I didn't talk to Leo Grozavu either. The coach makes the decision. The energy there, which is very good, we must not spoil it with such a transfer. Alibec is useful in any Superliga team.
It's hard to get a newly transferred player into the gear of the team now. It's hard to make a transfer in a month, to accommodate. It's hard”, explained the financier of FC Botoșani, for digisport.ro.
