Agent Giovanni Becali has offered his client, Universitatea Craiova's 23-year-old Romanian forward Ștefan Baiaram, to several European clubs, including Bologna, Roma, Benfica, and FC Porto. Becali reported that the sporting directors at both Bologna and Roma responded similarly, stating that they did not have an immediate need but would talk in the summer. According to the agent's comments, Mourinho conveyed that he did not believe Baiaram was a player for Benfica. Becali also stated that FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, indicated the club would analyze the player before speaking again in the summer. Baiaram has confirmed his intention to leave his current club, telling Orangesport.ro that the management promised he could depart if the year was without issues. The Romanian international, who has 2 caps and 1 goal for his country, has a contract with the club until June 2028 and has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 7 SuperLiga appearances this season. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €4.50m. In January 2026, a reported €5 million offer from Crvena Zvezda was rejected, while the asking price in late 2025 was reportedly around €7 million.
