Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of the FCSB champion, is of the opinion that those from Dinamo are lying about the offer received from Metalist 1925 Kharkiv for offensive midfielder Cătălin Cîrjan (23).
Dinamo received an offer worth 4 million euros for Cîrjan from Metalist, which was confirmed by Andrei Nicolescu, the president of the “dogs”. The captain of the Bucharest team chose not to take the course and remain under the command of Zeljko Kopic.
Gigi Becali, about the offer received by Dinamo: “If you say you received 4 million for Cîrjan, you take us for idiots”
Becali does not believe that Dinamo would have received an offer of 4 million euros in exchange for Cîrjan and said that he lost confidence in Nicolescu.
“Let me tell you something. I also told Louis Munteanu not to comment. But now we are also people who know how. If we say some true numbers or inflate them a little… But to tell such lies, are we idiots?
You take us for idiots if you say these amounts. If you say 4 million for Cîrjan, it means that you are taking us for fools. Tell me, do you believe this? With subject and predicate, you lie to me. I liked Andrei Nicolescu, a quality boy, but now, if he said that, that's it, I changed my mind: he tricked me.
I pay attention when you say 4 million on Cîrjan. I have to be careful when I talk to you. Even so, we don't know anything about football?”, said Gigi Becali, on the show “Fotbal Show”, from Prima Sport.
The offer from Ukraine is official. Metalist Kharkov. Today the offer came. We had other discussions, there were, but it never came officially. It's the first time he comes. The amount is 4 million.
We have stated that, for us, it is very important. If he were to leave, we would have set a target of 5 million, not 4. It is very important what he wants too.
