“Let's discuss in the summer” » FCSB has not given up on the transfer of the international

Being in the squad of the first national team, the left defender from Hermannstadt did not play against Turkey, but he has every chance to appear in the match against Slovakia (March 31, 21:45).

FCSB and Hermannstadt discuss the transfer of Kevin Ciubotaru in the summer

After the negotiations did not materialize in the winter, the two clubs will resume discussions at the end of the season, as revealed by Claudiu Rotar, one of the Sibiu shareholders.

“If we talk, we talk from the summer. Let's save the team and then we talk about sales. It remained (no – with FCSB) that we talk in the summer. He doesn't even want to go anywhere until the summer. Let's focus on the club team, let's get the team out. The priority is to avoid dam sites.

I knew he would go to the lot and be the third option, but it is important for him and his morale. Mr. Lucescu likes the player very much”, said Claudiu Rotar, for sport.ro.

FCSB, complicated mission in transferring Kevin Ciubotaru

As noted by GSP.ro at the beginning of the month, the mission of the red-blues to bring Kevin Ciubotaru promises to be a complicated one. If an agreement with Hermannstadt will be reached quickly, this is because the footballer has a clause of 450,000 euros, and the relations between the clubs are excellent, it will be complicated to convince the player and his parents to accept the offer.

The reason? First of all, Kevin prioritizes a transfer outside of Romania and hopes to find an offer in a championship in the West, considering that abroad would help him develop more, professionally and personally. And he is not in a hurry to accept the first proposal received, being willing to wait even for the end of the 2026 World Cup. Which would not please those at FCSB, who want to resolve the transfers as quickly as possible, until the possible Conference League preliminaries begin.

In addition, the footballer is not fully convinced that a transfer to FCSB would be the best move for him at the moment. According to Gazeta Sporturilor, Kevin and his parents fear that the complicated environment at the red-blues could harm his career. That is why they want to talk to Gigi Becali in person, to make sure that the businessman really wants the footballer and that he will not criticize him on TV after the first developments, as he has done in other times with various players.
