Yunnan Yukun, a team from China, is interested in acquiring Romanian winger Alexandru Dobre this winter, as the 28-year-old is in the final months of his contract with Rapid and is hesitant to sign an extension. Dobre received an offer from China for an annual salary of 800,000 euros. Aware that he could leave for free and save a future club a transfer fee, Dobre has requested a salary of one million euros in response. Speaking at Fotbal Club, Cristi Săpunaru suggested that Rapid could sell Dobre to a club in Asia for approximately 1.5 to 2 million euros this winter. Dobre has been capped seven times by Romania, joined Rapid on a free transfer in October 2024, and has a current market value of €3.00M according to Transfermarkt. Reports from June 2026 indicated that Rapid hoped to sell him for an amount between €2.5 million and €3 million.
