Kennedy Boateng (29 years old) is the first player who officially left Dinamo after the end of the season. The Togolese announced his departure on social media a few hours later failure with FCSB (1-2) from the play-off for qualification in the Conference League preliminaries.
The day after the match, former international Adrian Ilie (52 years old) revealed to Gigi Becali that the African defender would like to join the FCSB camp, despite the statements made to Dynamo fans.
Although the FCSB boss was living with the impression that Boateng had already signed abroad, “Cobra” warned him that things were not quite like that.

In the middle of the championship, when Dinamo was still hoping for the first places, the “red and white” defensive pillar would have thought of a betrayal and would have told “Cobra” that he would not refuse an offer from FCSB under any circumstances, according to fanatik.ro.
Hearing that the Togolese international would have been open to a transfer to FCSB, Gigi Becali imperatively asked the former striker to go online and check the player's contractual status.

Becali: Well, Boateng signed with another team. Not that I wanted to take him, that's how I found out from here, from there, that he signed with another team from abroad. I don't know with which team, that's what I heard too. I saw that the man said that in Romania he only plays for Dinamo. Good player, that's right.

Adrian Ilia: Why? That Boateng told me that, if he made an offer, he would come to Steaua (no – FCSB).
-
Becali: If he told you, why didn't you tell me?
-
Elijah: He told me that he would like to come to FCSB…
-
Becali: When did he tell you?
-
Elijah: Three months ago, he told me to look for a team for him abroad, in Turkey.
-
Becali: You should have spoken, told me.
-
Elijah: Let me know if he left, if he has a team.
-
Becali: Get interested.
-
Elijah: Yes, I'm talking to him.
-
Becali: To be interested, yes. It would be interesting.
Boateng played a total of 75 matches for Dinamo, during which he scored 8 goals and provided 2 decisive assists. He is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 1.2 million euros.
At FCSB he would compete for the position with Siyabonga Ngezana, Joyskim Dawa, Andre Duarte and Mihai Popescu.
