Becali dismisses Dinamo as title rivals and plans FCSB signings after SuperLiga defeat

FCSB owner Gigi Becali dismissed league leaders Dinamo as genuine title contenders and confirmed plans to recruit new players after his team suffered a 0-1 defeat to Universitatea Cluj in round 14 of the SuperLiga. Speaking to Prima Sport, Becali stated that despite Dinamo's current position at the top of the table, they do not possess the necessary strength to win the championship.

The loss to Universitatea Cluj left FCSB in seventh place with 21 points, while their opponents moved to fourth with 25 points. Dinamo currently leads the standings with 33 points, followed closely by Universitatea Craiova on 32 points. Becali noted that FCSB trails Universitatea Craiova by five points and sits six points behind Dinamo in the current classification.

Despite the deficit, Becali expressed confidence regarding the remainder of the campaign. He told Prima Sport he is no longer afraid about the title race and indicated that head coach Laurenţiu Reghecampf still has time to recover ground in the standings. Becali also pointed out that six rounds remain in the regular season for FCSB to improve their position before the next phase of the competition.

To address the squad's needs and challenge Universitatea Craiova, Becali announced intentions to sign three or four new players during the upcoming transfer window. He specified that these reinforcements would include a right-back and a number 9, identifying these positions as priorities for strengthening the team as they attempt to close the gap to the top of the table.
