FC Argesone of the surprises of this championship, is to go through a thorough process of reconfiguring the squad in the summer. There are growing indications that several players who have contributed to this season's performance are set to leave the club in the summer. GSP is premiering three of them.
Except for the interest shown by U Cluj for the midfielder Rober Sierra, Gazeta Sporturilor learned that, in the first phase, three other players will leave FC Argeș at the end of the championship.
“Wind of change” at FC Argeș: Pitesti remain without Adel Bettaieb
Among them, a well-known name, truly decisive in the course of the white-violets, striker Adel Bettaieb, 29 years old.
The Tunisian footballer was one of Bogdan Andone's regular starters, and during the season scored 12 goals in 43 league and cup appearancesalso providing 5 assists. In the play-off, he scored four of the five goals from Pitesti, including the “double” with Rapid and the personal execution in the match won in Craiova.

Bettaieb's contract is valid until June 30, 2026, but sources authorized by GSP.ro say that he does not smile at an extension of understanding. The Tunisian is tempted by a new experience and would have several offers on the table at the moment. Both from the country and from abroad.
At this moment, the chances of FC Argeș to convince Bettaieb to extend his contract are nil, reveals a character from the club's entourage.
FC Argeș had recruited Bettaieb last summer, after the African was no longer included in the calculations of Cluj University. Under Andone's baton, he recorded an incredible performance, being, together with his “comrade” Ricardo Matos, the man who bore the brunt of the Argesan “revelation” offensive. Matos also ticked off 12 successes this season.

Brobbey doesn't go on either
Starting next season, FC Argeș will no longer rely on the Dutchman Kevin Brobbeey (ex-Luckassen). The 32-year-old box striker he no longer wants to continue in the Super League and has already announced to the club that he will leave Romania as soon as possible.
Batav would benefit from an experience abroad, after having played for FC Buzău and FC Argeș in the last two years.
Brobbey could not compete with Matos and Bettaieb, he was mainly a reserve, making 24 seasonal appearances. Without a goal in the Super League, Brobbey managed to score four times during the Romanian Cup, where the “purple eagles” stopped in the penultimate act.
The Dutchman could have said “farewell” to FC Argeș with a legendary goal, if the VAR had not canceled his successful clean sheet last Friday, with Rapid.
