Gigi Becali does not give up the idea of bringing Florinel Coman and Denis Drăguș to FCSB. The boss of the red-blues revealed that he met the two Romanian internationals at the baptism of Giorgios, the son of Ianis Hagi, and even told them that he saw them in his team's jersey.
The financier FCSB claims that he is willing to make a significant financial effort to convince the two to return to the Superliga.
Gigi Becali, about the transfers of Coman and Drăguș: “You will be with me, let's take pictures from now on”
The owner of FCSB recounted the dialogue he had with Florinel Coman and Denis Drăguș at the Hagi family event.
“When I took the pictures with Florinel, why did I take them? The ones from Hagi, from the baptism. I took both him and Drăguș and said: “Come on, you two, to Gigi Becali's”. Who knows, maybe I can find money for Drăguș, maybe I can borrow it.
If I took them to take a picture with them, why did I take them? I don't need memories, I'm not into pictures. I took them and said: “You will be with me, let's take pictures from now on”.
Drăguș belongs to Trabzonspor, but he said: “Nea Gigi, I have to take money from there”. He said: “I'm going, I'm going to do my job, let's see how much money they give me”, to terminate the contract, because they don't want it anymore. And he said: “If you give me 4-500,000”. And Florinel said: “If he also gives me 6-700,000”.
I give them too. I mean, I told Drăguș that, with premiums, with those, I can give him a million. I also give Florinel 7-800,000 with premiums. But Drăguș, in my opinion, is the most valuable Romanian player“, said Becali on the show “Fotbal Club”, from Digi Sport.
Florinel Coman did not impose himself after leaving FCSB
Transferred to Al-Gharafa, the Romanian winger did not become an indisputable starter, and after only half a season in Qatar, he arrived on loan at Cagliari. However, the Italians decided not to activate the permanent transfer option.
In the recently concluded season, Coman made 26 appearances in all competitions and scored four times for Al-Gharafa. At FCSB, the striker was one of the important players with 63 goals and 62 assists in 233 official matches.
Denis Drăguș had, for his part, a complicated season
After his good performances in Gaziantep, the forward failed to maintain his form in Turkey, failing to score in the league either for Eyupspor or after his return to Gaziantep. The only goals of the season came in the Turkish Cup, in a match against Keciorengucu, where he scored a double.
The best period of his career remains the 2023-2024 season, when he scored 15 goals for Gaziantep and attracted the interest of Trabzonspor, who paid around 1.7 million euros for his transfer.
