Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, expressed interest in acquiring Alexandru Mitriță from Universitatea Craiova. He plans to strengthen the team for the UEFA Champions League main group stage. Mitriță has a contract with Craiova until 2028 with a release clause valued at 5 million EUR.

Gigi Becali conveyed his admiration for Alexandru Mitriță but admitted that it was unlikely Universitatea Craiova would allow him to move to their major rival, FCSB. Mitriță, who made his return to Craiova in the summer of 2023, has a contract with the club that runs until 2028, including a release clause of 5 million euros. This season, the 30-year-old has showcased his exceptional abilities by netting 17 goals and providing 7 assists, ranking as the second top scorer in the Superliga with 15 goals, just behind Louis Munteanu. Becali mentioned that discussing a transfer was pointless as Mitriță is considered 'oltean' and would never be let go.
