Gigi Becali announced plans to personally sign six foreign players for FCSB after leaving Arena Națională angry following a defeat. The club suffered a third consecutive 0-1 Superliga loss against newly promoted Corvinul Hunedoara, adding to previous defeats against Gloria Bistrița and U Cluj. Becali stated the squad lacks value and available Romanian players, asserting that foreign signings from abroad are now necessary.

Becali expressed disappointment with recent transfers and stated he would handle recruitment personally because others failed to deliver. Only Denis Drăguș has performed well among recent arrivals, while other new signings have not met expectations. Despite previously relying on Mihai Stoica and the scouting department, Becali indicated he must now take direct control of player acquisition.

Becali promised reinforcements to coach Laurențiu Reghecampf as FCSB risks missing the play-off again. Reghecampf stated the scouting department prepared lists with three to four solutions per position but confirmed the owner makes final decisions based on budget. The club recently invested two million euros in Aymen Boutoutaou, Meriton Korenica and Ronny Labonne while losing key players including Darius Olaru and Daniel Bîrligea.
