Aymen Boutoutaou, a 25-year-old Algerian winger from Sochaux, is on a shortlist for FCSB. Mihai Stoica confirmed that negotiations have begun for the player, whom he described as very expensive. Stoica stated that the club has been trying to sign him since November. He explained that a winter transfer was not possible because the player's club had not set a price, and that the deal, which seemed closed at one point, has now reopened. Stoica believes that if the transfer is successful, it would be the biggest move the club is trying to make. He also revealed that the player wishes to join and that an agreement on salary is close, but the challenge is reaching an understanding with the club. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 3 season, Boutoutaou made 32 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists. His contract with the French club is valid until June 30, 2027, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €800k.
