Steven Nsimba is attracting attention from clubs in Europe and/or the Arab region, and Universitatea Craiova can ask for a significant sum amounting to millions of euros for him. A source stated that the club can with certainty obtain over 10 million euros just by considering Romanchuk, Anzor, Assad, and Nsimba, but added that they have to consider the matter very carefully.

Steven Nsimba is wanted by Zhejiang FC, a team in the Chinese first league where Romanian winger Alex Mitriță also plays. The Chinese club would be willing to offer 1.2 million euros, but the Oltenians are asking for 1.3 million to approve the transfer. The rift between the player and the club occurred during the match against AEK Athens, when the forward refused to enter the field, dissatisfied with the minutes he was given. The Craiova management considered the episode serious and decided to immediately put him on the transfer list.
