It turns out that Gigi Becali would be willing to give up Bîrligea for less than 10 million euros, something that the landowner himself had suggestedin November 2025, when he claimed to have received an offer from the US.
“At this time I have 7 million, to sell Bîrligea. But I am not interested in the money. At this time, Bîrligea must score goals, to get me out of the situation I am in. In the winter there will be something else, I'll give this one for 8-10 million“, said the FCSB boss at the time.
This season, Bîrligea faced an Italian team, Bologna, in the Europa League group. In that defeat, 1-2, he came on at halftime.
Daniel scored 7 goals and provided 6 assists in the current season. In total, 32 decisive contributions for FCSB (24 goals, 8 assists) in 59 matches.
