Gigi Becali agreed to transfer Malcom Edjouma to Metaloglobus, but the player declined the move. The refusal was primarily due to Metaloglobus's lack of sporting ambitions, as the club's main objective was merely to avoid relegation. Furthermore, the salary offered was below 4,000 euros, which was significantly lower than Edjouma's expectations. Mihai Teja, the newly appointed coach of Metaloglobus, expressed his desire to have Edjouma on the team. However, Edjouma, who remains contracted with FCSB until the end of the year, showed no interest in joining the newly-promoted team based in Clinceni, which had just secured promotion after a playoff against Poli Iași. Despite Mihai Teja's interest, Edjouma was not persuaded by the club's limited goals. Additionally, he had previously rejected a much higher offer of 30,000 euros per month from another club, underscoring the gap between his salary expectations and what Metaloglobus offered.
