Aymen Boutoutaou, a 25-year-old midfielder known for his versatility behind the striker, has officially arrived in Bucharest to sign with FCSB.
FCSB successfully negotiated with Sochaux to acquire one of their key players from last season, during which the team achieved promotion to France’s second tier. After an initial offer of €800,000 was declined, Gigi Becali raised the bid to €1 million, which was accepted.
