According to MM Stoica, Luca Szimionaș was a player FCSB was considering in the winter. Stoica revealed that he was interested in the player but was afraid to insist further to Gigi Becali regarding his transfer. Stoica stated that Verona would probably ask for a large sum for the player, who is from their U20 side, because he is a young, promising player born in 2006. He added that the sum would exceed half a million euros. Stoica noted that he had only observed the player performing well at the U19 level and considered a transfer risky because the player has not competed at a senior level. He also said that a potential loan with a purchase option was a topic of discussion.

Gigi Becali announced that Luca Szimionaș will be brought in from Serie A club Verona to replace Adrian Șut. FCSB aims to strengthen its midfield following the departures of both Șut and Malcom Edjouma. A key factor in the move is Szimionaș's eligibility for the Superliga's U21 rule. The player, valued at €250,000, has not yet made an appearance for Verona's senior team but has recorded 18 matches, one goal, and one assist for the Verona Primavera side.
