Gigi Becali plans five foreign signings after FCSB defeat

Gigi Becali stated he intends to sign five foreign players during the upcoming winter transfer window for FCSB. The club owner made the announcement shortly after his team suffered a 0-1 home defeat to Corvinul, marking their third consecutive loss in the league. Becali explained that he has increased his recruitment target from three to five players because he believes no suitable Romanian options are currently available.

In the match against Corvinul, Fabry scored the only goal in the 41st minute with a powerful shot past goalkeeper Ștefan Târnovanu. Despite dominating large periods of the game and creating chances through Drăguș in the second half, FCSB could not find an equalizer against Corvinul goalkeeper Frânculescu. This result extended a poor run of form under manager Laurențiu Reghecampf, who had won his first three matches in charge before losing 0-1 to Gloria Bistrița, U Cluj, and now Corvinul.

Following this latest defeat, FCSB remained on 21 points and sat in eighth place in the standings after 15 rounds. Corvinul moved to seventh place with 22 points as a result of the victory. Becali specifically emphasized that his new signings would be foreigners from outside the domestic championship rather than players already competing in Romania, citing a lack of local talent meeting his standards.
