Giovanni Becali (73 years old), the agent of Ștefan Târnovanu (25 years old), is convinced that the goalkeeper will leave FCSB this summer, after the financier of the team, Gigi Becali (67 years old), decided to remove the Romanian international from the “first 11”.
Gigi Becali's drastic decision came after the stinging failure at home, 1-4 against the vice-champion CFR Cluj, a match in which Târnovanu “made a mistake in 3 out of 4 goals”, according to the boss. The place in the goal of the titular champion would be taken by Matei Popa (18 years old), being also the “under” option for the “first 11” lined up by Elias Charalambous (45 years old).
However, Târnovanu was integral and one of the best players on the pitch in FCSB's 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce in the last Europa League game of the season.
Giovanni Becali is convinced that Ștefan Târnovanu will leave at the end of the season: “The problem is that FCSB will no longer take the money that it could have taken”
“I hope that, in the summer, he will bring some money to the club. Do you think FCSB will abandon Târnovanu? The problem is that the FCSB will no longer take the money it could have taken. The world knows who Târnovanu is, they know what he is about.
FCSB stayed more in their half of the field (no in the match with Fenerbahce). The players began to believe. That's it. If it doesn't defend, it doesn't defend. It's happened before. There are 7 games left in the regular season and another 10 in the playoffs. I don't know the U21 boy, that's their problem.
When they are close to the play-offs and play the important matches, I think the option will be Târnovanu. There is a coach, a boss. I do what they want. If he has a chance in the play-off, Târnovanu will play. In the play-offs, I don't think you can play with an under in the goal”, declared Giovanni Becali, according to fanatik.ro.
