Sport.ro reports that Andre Duarte is expected to join FCSB and will soon sign with the club after concluding his arrangements with Ujpest.

According to sport.ro, André Duarte arrived in Romania on December 1 and is expected to sign with FCSB in the following days. At the airport, Duarte told PRO TV that he is happy to be back in Romania and that he loves the country. He also said that he had recently watched several Romanian league matches and, concerning FCSB's interest, stated he was happy to be there. The sport.ro report also mentions that the defender from Újpest is undergoing the necessary medical examinations and will sign a contract with FCSB until the summer of 2028 if the results are satisfactory. Duarte recently announced his departure, but Újpest has not officially confirmed this. The player is still under contract with Újpest, meaning the interested club would have to buy him out. Transfermarkt lists Duarte's current market value as 1 million euros.

According to sport.ro, André Duarte landed in Bucharest on Sunday and was awaited by Romanian manager Bogdan Mitrea and another agent. The portal reports that the reason for Duarte's trip is to undergo a medical examination at FCSB. Sport.ro also states that Duarte could sign with FCSB until 2028 if he passes the medical.

Gigi Becali stated that Andre Duarte will undergo a medical examination and is set to sign a contract with FCSB. Becali also said that Duarte is a free agent, can train with the team, and has a document which states he is free. According to Becali, the player can be registered now but will only be able to play starting from January, and the contract can be signed now for one or two years. Becali mentioned that Mihai Stoica handled Duarte's arrival and that there was no negotiation or significant payment. He added that he does not know the cost of the transfer.

Mihai Stoica, FCSB's sporting director, stated in the Romanian press that he has a verbal agreement with André Duarte for a transfer from Újpest for a duration of two and a half years. A Saturday article from digisport.ro wrote that the player has probably not yet been able to agree with Újpest on the terms of his departure, and that this is the reason he has not been able to sign with the Bucharest team. According to digisport.ro, Duarte's past and his current dispute in Hungary could be a cause for concern for FCSB.

According to an announcement made by Mihai Stoica on Friday, Andre Duarte has reached an agreement with FCSB for a transfer in the winter transfer window. FCSB was in search of central defenders. Duarte, a Portuguese player, last played for Ujpest and announced last week that he had parted ways with the Hungarian team after almost a year and a half.

Mihai Stoica, the chairman of the Board of Directors at FCSB, specified that FCSB has reached an informal agreement with André Duarte. Stoica stated that the documents have not yet been signed, but they have an understanding and are working on the documents. He said it is a contract for two and a half years and also that Duarte is expected to sign a contract valid until the summer of 2028. The Hungarian press has claimed that André Duarte is still under contract with Ujpest and had discussed his departure with the club's bosses a week ago. Sources close to the Ujpest club revealed that the management wants to sue Duarte to prevent similar situations from occurring. The player expected at FCSB is still under contract with Ujpest, with the agreement expiring in 2028, meaning he cannot sign as a free agent with the team owned by Gigi Becali. Duarte had announced his departure from Ujpest in a message on social media.

It has been reported recently that Andre Duarte will sign with FCSB this winter as a free agent. According to the Hungarian press, Andre Duarte discussed his departure with Ujpest's management a week ago. The club's management was willing to permit him to negotiate with other clubs only on the condition that he would leave for a transfer fee this winter, which was not agreeable to the player. The player then attempted to compel his departure by announcing on social media that he was separating from Ujpest. Although Andre Duarte wrote that the separation had already taken place, he is still under contract with Ujpest until 2028 and is unable to sign with FCSB as a free agent. Sources close to Ujpest revealed that the club's management intends to sue Duarte to prevent a precedent.

FCSB is close to completing the transfer of Andre Duarte, a former player of FCU Craiova who will become a free agent after leaving Ujpest FC. Gigi Becali wants to bring Andre Duarte to FCSB, and Adrian Mititelu, the owner of FCU Craiova, has commented on the transfer.

Mihai Stoica, the chairman of the board of FCSB, told gsp.ro that they have already negotiated with André Duarte. Stoica stated that they have always been interested and are in contact, adding that they have already discussed details but no final agreement has been reached. According to the Lila Sector fan page, the defender only agreed with the club management to be able to negotiate with other clubs so that he could leave for a transfer fee in the winter.

Andre Duarte posted a message on social media announcing his departure from Ujpest FC. According to fanatik.ro, he has reached an agreement with FCSB to join as a free agent. The Hungarian team has not announced the departure of the defender, whom they excluded from the squad two weeks ago.

An offer of 1.5 million euros was made for Duarte in the summer and rejected by the club's management, according to Romanian iamsport.ro. According to digisport.ro, Duarte is a target for Bucharest's FCSB, where he would be welcomed. FCSB was previously interested in him during his time at Újpest, but the Hungarian club then asked for an amount between 1.3 and 1.5 million euros for him.

André Duarte has announced on his Instagram page that he is leaving Újpest. It now appears that the club is releasing Duarte for free, although a significant transfer fee could have been received for him previously. The Romanian Pro Sport reported that the first-division club FCSB would sign the player.

In Romania, André Duarte's transfer remains a topic, as gsp.ro reports that FCSB is monitoring the situation of the Portuguese defender who left Újpest.

André Duarte is one of the main targets for FCSB, and the club has wanted to acquire him for several seasons. The player's agent recently stated that despite a contract extension with Újpest, a move is not ruled out if there is real interest. According to ProSport, Duarte's exclusion from the Újpest squad for disciplinary reasons could accelerate a possible transfer to Bucharest and allow FCSB to sign him in the winter.

FCSB is interested in Andre Duarte. The club's main objective in the winter is to strengthen the defense with a central defender, and Andre Duarte is one of the top names on their list. The Bucharest team has been monitoring him for several seasons. Acquiring the Ujpest defender will not be easy, as the Hungarian club recently extended his contract until the summer of 2028. This extension followed the team from District 4 (of Budapest) receiving an almost record offer for the 28-year-old Portuguese defender, which the club rejected, considering the player's commitment to the team. According to journalists from Hungary, sourced from csakfoci.hu, it will not be easy at all for the red and blues to transfer Duarte from Ujpest, considering that the Budapest team refused an offer of 1.5 million euros for the Portuguese, and also because Andre Duarte is very attached to the team. The defender joined Újpest in August 2024 and has made 9 appearances and provided 1 assist in the domestic league this season. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €1.00m.
