There are rumors that 34-year-old centre-forward Denis Alibec could leave FCSB after six months because he is not getting enough playing time. When FC Botoșani owner Valeriu Iftime was directly asked about the possibility of signing the Romanian international, he categorically refused. Iftime stated that the issue was not about money but about the player's attitude and condition. According to Fanatik.ro, the owner explained that his club needs hungry players who want to grow, not someone who has already been great and wants to become so again, adding that a good team atmosphere is essential. The forward has 45 caps and 6 goals for Romania and has made 7 appearances in the SuperLiga this season without scoring a goal or providing an assist. His contract is due to expire in June 2026, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €600k.
