His future Darius Olaru (28 years old) continues to be one of the main topics from FCSB in this mercato period. After the last few days revealed that there is an offer of €2.3 million for the captain of the red-blues, Gigi Becali has now returned with new statements about the midfielder's situation.
The Belgian press recently wrote that Union Saint-Gilloise, the Belgian champion, is the club interested in the services of the Romanian international. The Belgian team will also be the first opponent of the red-blues in the training camp in the Netherlands, in a friendly match scheduled for July 5.
Gigi Becali, about the transfer of Darius Olaru: “The emperor is not interested in what is happening in the court of the kingdom”
Asked about the status of negotiations for Darius Olaru, the owner of the Romanian champion claimed that he is no longer directly involved in such details and sent all questions to Mihai Stoica.
“Regarding Olaru, I don't know anything. You have to talk to MM, I don't run the club. I run what I have to run, I don't know about transfers and offers. It's not for the emperor to be interested in what's happening in the kingdom's court“, said Gigi Becali, for digisport.ro.
The statement comes just days after financier FCSB announced that there is a concrete offer for the midfielder and that they are willing to let him leave.
Darius Olaru, wanted by the vice-champion of Belgium
Although Becali initially stated that the offer would come from the Netherlands, reports in the Belgian media indicate that Union Saint-Gilloise is the club interested in the transfer.
It is possible that Olaru will leave. I had an offer of 3 million from Arabia. I asked for 4. After that he came with the offer from Holland, with 2.3 million, and I said: “Look, because you were a good person, I'll let you go with 3 million”. And to give the money in installments, to give in 3 installments, because I don't need money.
– said Gigi Becali
The Belgian champions are coming off an excellent season and are preparing for participation in the UEFA Champions League. Union Saint-Gilloise has 12 Belgian championship titles under its belt, the last one being won in the 2024-2025 season.
Darius Olaru arrived at FCSB in January 2020, after Gigi Becali paid 600,000 euros to those from Gaz Metan Mediaș. During the six years spent in Bucharest, the midfielder turned into one of the most important players of the team and became the captain of the formation.
Until now, Olaru has collected 257 matches in the red-blue shirt, managing to score 63 goals and provide 41 decisive assists.
