FCSB is preparing for the most important game of the season. The team coached by Marius Baciu will play the play-off with Dinamo for qualification in the Conference League preliminaries. Meanwhile, the red-blues are also thinking about the structure of the team next season. Six footballers end their contracts after the match at the “Arc de Triomphe”.
It is about Valentin Crețu, Vlad Chiricheș, Mihai Popescu, Baba Alhassan, Siyabonga Ngezana and Daniel Graovac. If Vlad Chiricheș is injured and will not continue for sure, the situation of the others remains unclear, as stated by Mihai Stoica.
6 players reach the end of their contracts with FCSB: “Some will be offered extensions, others will not”
MM announced that some of the players will receive proposals for contract extensions, while others are not part of the club's plans for next season.
In the case of Graovac, the decision belongs to the club, which has the option to extend his deal. The discussions will begin immediately after the play-off with Dinamo, at which time FCSB will find out whether or not it will play in the European cups.
“At the end of the contract are Valentin Creţu, Vlad Chiricheş, Mihai Popescu, Baba Alhassan, Siyabonga Ngezana. Some will be offered extensions, others not.
Attention, with some there is also the option of the club, that is, it's not that they left… Graovac and I think we stopped here. Yes. The idea is that we still have discussions to do here.
It is not known if we will play with an underage goalkeeper, and Ştefan Târnovanu can go abroad if he has an offer like any other player. It is important that the players who will leave – and there will be enough of them – be replaced by valuable footballers“said MM Stoica, according to primasport.ro.
