The FCSB club financier said he would be willing to transfer Mario Tudose (20 years) from FC Argeș, after Mihai Popescu's injury. Gigi Becali also wanted to transfer the young defender during the mercato period, but the move did not achieve, writes golazo.ro.
Mihai Popescu was injured in the Romanian match on Sunday with Austria, score 1-0. The defender of the Romanian champion came out of the field in the 72nd minute, being changed with Virgil Ghiță.
The owner of FCSB is thinking of transferring Mario Tudose from FC Argeș. On the post of central defender, only NGESANA is capable of play, and Graovac is in the recovery period after injury.
“What to do with Tudose? I gave a million euros in the summer. Now let's see, maybe I give 500,000 euros. I'm not interested. You didn't want a million, now it's 500,000 euros,” said Gigi Becali, according to Fanatik.ro.
At the end of the Mercato period this summer, FC Argeș asked for 1 million euros for Mario Tudose.
However, Benfica Lisbon would receive 50% of Mario Tudose's next transfer. Thus, for FC Arges to receive the desired amount, the Romanian champion should have paid 2 million euros.
In the Pitesti shirt, Mario Tudose evolved in 61 games and scored 4 goals.
