Panagiotis Tachtsidis, a 33-year-old Greek midfielder with an impressive CV including teams like AS Roma, Genoa, and Verona, is close to becoming the fourth transfer of the summer for FCSB. After leaving CFR Cluj, he hints at signing with FCSB, a long-time target of Gigi Becali. If the transfer materializes, Tachtsidis could debut against his former team, CFR Cluj, in the Romanian Supercup scheduled next week at the Ghencea stadium. He would become the second Greek player, after Pantelis Kapetanos, to play for both major rivals in Romanian football.

Panagiotis Tachtsidis was previously on the list of Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, and there have been talks about the possibility of him joining FCSB. Cristi Balaj, the president of CFR Cluj, mentioned that he wouldn't be surprised if an offer from FCSB comes, although he is not aware of any current offer. Tachtsidis was seen talking with Elias Charalambous, which sparked the rumors. In the past, Gigi Becali expressed interest in signing Tachtsidis, but the player extended his contract with CFR Cluj at the last moment.
