FCSB’s attempt to sign young right-back Andrei Dorobanțu from Unirea Slobozia as a U21 rule solution stalled due to the €700,000 asking price, which the club’s owner Gigi Becali refused to pay, calling the offer excessive and opting not to pursue David Maftei from Farul as an alternative[1][3]. Despite multiple proposals for U21-eligible lateral defenders, Becali declared the club will not make further signings, signaling a halt to their search for compliant young players in that position[3]. Dorobanțu, who appeared in 21 matches and scored once against FCSB last season, remains a prospect valued around €300,000 by Transfermarkt but priced much higher by Slobozia[1][3]. This decision underscores FCSB’s cautious financial approach amid regulatory squad requirements, influencing their squad-building strategy for the new season.
