Mamadou Thiam beat the palm with FCSB and is to officially become the new footballer of the champion. It will earn at FCSB 30,000 euros per month. Becali paid 50,000 euros and left Andrei Gheorghiță at U Cluj.
Andrei Nicolescu considers that the amounts that FCSB, CFR Cluj, Craiova and Rapid offer are too high in relation to the level of Romanian football. He advises the other clubs not to resort to such expenses.

“I have the feeling that for the Romanian football it is like last year. It was September, there were two things, the transfer of Bîrligea to FCSB for 2.5 million and Booupendza to Rapid. At that moment I said that it is overvaluation of the Romanian football, which is not able to ensure such an expense.
It is an area where if we fall the others, firefighter areas that do very well to the public, Romanian football will go sooner or later in a financial collapse. There are some examples that overcome, FCSB, Rapid, Craiova and CFR. The others, to keep up, make decisions like this, perhaps at a lower level, but will affect their financial predictability.
We have many examples. There are a few clubs that allow themselves to offer such amounts, but I advise the others not to resort to such solutions ”, said Andrei Nicolescu, at the Football Club show, from Digi Sport.
Thiam was last season some of the most FCSB footballers. He played 38 matches in Superliga, he managed 9 goals and 6 decisive passes. It has a market share worth one million euros, according to transfermarkt.com.
