FCSB owner Gigi Becali has denied reports that he offered 1.5 million euros for Trabzonspor forward Denis Dragus, insisting he is only interested in a loan move.
Speaking on July 23, 2026, Becali dismissed Turkish media claims that FCSB was preparing a multimillion-euro transfer for the Romanian international.

"No, it's not true. I'm still waiting for Denis Dragus, but what appeared is not true.
If he comes, fine. But he has to reach an agreement with them, I have nothing to do with it.
I'm not paying any money for the transfer, I'll take him on loan if it happens," Becali told digisport.

Piturca Warns of Financial Risks
Former manager Victor Piturca analyzed the potential move, highlighting both benefits and financial risks due to Dragus's high salary in Turkey.
"I can't say that Dragus wouldn't be good for FCSB. I think it would be a good move.
He is a good player, with qualities, strong, of value for the Romanian championship.
At the same time, we must be aware that he hasn't played much in Turkey lately and hasn't had success," Piturca said.
Piturca noted that while Dragus performed well for the national team, his wage demands require careful analysis.
"He came to the national team, played good matches, but didn't establish himself at his club team. Although he plays in a medium-value championship, like Turkey's.
It should be well analyzed beforehand. Why?
