Mihai Stoica, the president of the FCSB Board of Directors, spoke about the transfer strategy that the Romanian champion is following this winter.
The FCSB official said that the negotiations for a U21 footballer have stopped because the boss Gigi Becali has changed his mind and no longer wants him. Also, those from FCSB want to bring in a central midfielder, at the request of the boss. At the moment, they would have found a track, but according to Mihai Stoica, for now an offer has been submitted, but the negotiations are in the early stages.
Mihai Stoica, announcement about transfers to FCSB: “Names are circulating, but there is no one from League 1. Florin Cernat came with a proposal that we like”
“It's not about anyone U21. It was about a player, but when he heard the position he plays, Gigi Becali changed his mind because it was a covered position. It didn't really make sense to bring a player who wants to play to a team where he has nowhere to play. We have the variants Toma, Stoian, David Popa in the extreme left position. We firmly believe that Stoian is number 9 and not a winger.
There is no problem with an underage player coming. Gigi Becali wants a central midfielder. We follow many players. Florin Cernat came up with a proposal, we like it. We don't know if he will come because he has much more interesting offers from a lucrative point of view, but I understand that he hesitates to go to another continent, and may accept our offer. That's interesting, but there is no point in giving names if we do not have a certainty that he will choose us.
There is no transferable player in Ligue 1 that we want. That would be Gnahore, Christensen, valuable midfielders, good, but we are not enough to transfer starters from Dinamo and Rapid. Names are circulating, but there is no one from League 1. The Steel are struggling to sell Lameira, Joao Paulo and Conrado. They proposed to us as well, but we are not interested”, Mihai Stoica said on the Fotbal Show show from Prima Sport.
