Kevin Ciubotaru

In June 2026, reports linked Lech Poznań and Rapid Bucuresti with a potential transfer costing between €400,000 and €500,000. Throughout early 2026, a release clause of €450,000 was consistently mentioned, with multiple clubs reportedly considering paying it. Between December 2025 and February 2026, FCSB was reported to have agreed to fees of both €400,000 and €450,000, though the deals did not materialize. A lower offer from FCSB of €200,000 plus a player was also mentioned in February 2026. In January 2026, it was reported that offers from Italian clubs below the €450,000 clause had been rejected. The player's Transfermarkt value was reported as €400,000 in January and June 2026, rising from earlier estimates of €75,000 and €150,000 in late 2025.

Our valuation is driven by the consistently reported €450,000 release clause for Kevin Ciubotaru, which multiple clubs were reportedly willing to meet. This figure is strongly corroborated by several reports of an agreed fee between Hermannstadt and FCSB at both €400,000 and €450,000, and further supported by rumoured interest from Lech Poznań in the €400,000-€500,000 range. The club's relegation and financial issues made a sale at this price point highly probable.
