Mihai Rotaru stated that Ștefan Baiaram had an offer of nearly one million euros per year from Bașakșehir at the beginning of the season, when a move was considered to be very close. Rotaru denied information that Baiaram is considering leaving and stated that the player will continue at Craiova for the time being. He also said that currently there are no offers for any player.

Sorin Cârțu stated that Bașakșehir wanted to bring Ștefan Baiaram for a large sum. Cârțu said that Baiaram was close to leaving and that there were discussions with Bașakșehir. According to Cârțu, there was a real offer after the two-legged tie, but they did not agree on some details. He added that he did not participate in the talks but that the offer was around 6-7 million euros. Cârțu confirmed that discussions were held about a real offer, but it was not resolved and Baiaram remained at Craiova.

An offer for Ștefan Baiaram, a 22-year-old Romanian winger, has been made by İstanbul Başakşehir, the club recently eliminated by Universitatea Craiova in the Conference League play-offs. According to digisport.ro, the Turkish team proposed a deal of €4 million plus a sell-on clause for the player, who is reportedly in excellent form in the Romanian Superliga. The bid was turned down by Mihai Rotaru, Universitatea Craiova's owner, who has a valuation of the player between €8 and €10 million. The decision to reject the offer was also impacted by the closed transfer window in Romania, which prevents the club from signing a replacement. In Turkey, the window for transfers is open until Friday at 23:59. Baiaram's current contract with the Romanian club is valid until June 2028, and his Transfermarkt value is estimated at €2 million. Previously, he has attracted interest from teams in Italy and the United States.
