Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, had arranged to bring Adrian Rus, a 29-year-old defender from Pisa, to strengthen their defense. However, the transfer was ultimately unsuccessful due to the player's agent demanding 100,000 euros to facilitate the move. Becali, outraged by this demand, decided to terminate the discussion, refusing to pay the agent's fee. Frustrated by Mihai Popescu's performance in a recent match against CFR Cluj, Becali was eager to reinforce his defense with the Romanian international, Adrian Rus, who is valued at 1.2 million euros according to transfermarkt and has 22 caps for Romania. Despite Rus's contract with Pisa running until 2026, he was placed on the transfer list after contributing to the team's promotion to Serie A last season. In a heated exchange, Becali reportedly expressed his disbelief over the agent's demand, questioning the logic behind paying such a fee, and abruptly ended the call, accusing the agent of acting like a slave master and questioning their sanity.
