Gigi Becali (67 years old), the owner of FCSB, explained how he got to the departure of Adrian Șut (26), sold in the United Arab Emirates at Al Ain, and claims his replacement will be announced on Friday or Saturday.
Adrian Șut, a key player at FCSB, left the FCSB training camp in Antalya today, going to undergo a medical visit before the transfer to Al Ainthe leader from the Emirates.
Gigi Becali revealed that he left Mihai Stoica to manage the transfer and that FCSB will collect 1.5 million euros from Șut.
Gigi Becali reveals the transfer amount in the case of Adrian Șut: €1.5 million
“I said to MM: 'Mihai, do what you want. I'm not interested, I don't feel like it. I'm too happy, I have so much joy in these Holidays, that I don't have any more work.'” It was the first time in my life that I did that.
He did what he wanted. Mihai signed the contract, leaving for 1.5 million. The boy's gone, he's there for his medical, so the deal is done.
He didn't want to anymore [să stea]. Everyone was leaving, only he was staying. He was no longer satisfied in Romania. He will probably take a nice salary there, probably 1 million euros a year. Here he had about 20,000 a month, so about 250,000 a year, and there he gets 1 million.
He wanted to leave, he was no longer satisfied. If I wanted to keep him, I kept him and that was enough. Now it doesn't mean that if Tănase wants to leave, he leaves. Tănase e Redondo, right?”, said Becali on the show “Liga DigiSport”.
Gigi Becali: “You'll see the replacement. He's a foreigner, I don't know his name”
The FCSB boss promises that Šut will be replaced quickly.
“You will see the replacement today, tomorrow. When I spoke with MM, now, I told him to do what he wants with that one. He told me the amount, that it is a matter of 100,000 euros more or less. I said: “Take it and that's enough! Bring a replacement”.
He's a foreigner. I don't know him, he told me about a month ago that he saw a lot of players and that he is a «good, good» one. If MM Stoica says about one that he is “good, good”… He said the same about Ngezana. And then I took it immediately, I didn't take it into account.
I said to him: “Mihai, let's take these two from Galați. Joao Paulo and Lemeira, that Maleira». And [MM] he said to me: “Hey Gigi, this is a player with 5 classes above those two”. He said he was defensive. And that's what I want, an aggressive man, fixed point in the midfield, so I can play with Tănase and Olaru.
That's exactly what I wanted, a more aggressive and defensive one. But he said it was very technical. I don't know his name. I don't even know what team he is on, I only know the country. But I won't tell you“, added the FCSB boss.
