Agent Armend Nexhipi stated that there was interest in 29-year-old Kosovo winger Meriton Korenica from FC Tokyo this summer and that offers also came from Monza and DC United. Nexhipi added that there was further interest from clubs in Bundesliga 2, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. The agent explained that an earlier transfer was not completed because CFR's initial asking price was between €1.5 million and €2 million, but the club's subsequent financial problems and insolvency facilitated the conclusion of a last-minute transaction. The transfer to FCSB was ultimately completed for a reported fee of €600,000, a significant drop from a potential €4 million transfer to DC United that was reported in early 2026. Korenica, who has 6 caps for his country, has a contract with FCSB until June 2028 and a current market value of €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
