Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, expressed interest in Alexandru Dobre from Rapid, stating that he would take Dobre if given the choice. Dobre has been performing well and has attracted attention from the national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, for potential inclusion in the Romanian national team for upcoming matches. Dobre was transferred to Rapid in the autumn, free of contract after leaving Famalicao, and has played 30 matches under coach Marius Șumudică, scoring seven times in the league and Romanian Cup.
