FCSB, one of Romania’s most storied football clubs, has been busy reshaping its squad ahead of the new campaign, with a series of confirmed arrivals and ongoing negotiations drawing headlines across the footballing world. Club owner Gigi Becali, as vocal and involved as ever, has outlined clear ambitions for the season, ensuring the team remains competitive both domestically and in European competitions.
One of the major themes of the summer has been Becali’s search for young defensive talent. Reports suggest that the FCSB boss has grown dissatisfied with the current crop of U21 defenders at his disposal, and he is now actively seeking reinforcements. This move reflects a dual strategy: strengthening the back line for the short term while also meeting the Romanian league’s U21 player requirements. A promising young defender is expected to arrive soon, signaling the club’s commitment to developing fresh talent.
In attack, FCSB’s plans have been closely tied to the future of striker Daniel Bîrligea. Becali revealed that if Bîrligea were to leave, Louis Munteanu would be the immediate target to replace him. The potential swap has generated buzz among fans, especially as Munteanu has shown flashes of quality in Liga I. However, Becali has also poured cold water on speculation linking Bîrligea to a high-profile move abroad, particularly to Ajax. While acknowledging interest, the club owner insisted that no transfer would take place before the winter window, underlining the striker’s importance in the current campaign.
