Mario Felgueiras, the sporting director of Universitatea Craiova, announced that 23-year-old Romanian winger Ștefan Baiaram will remain with the team at "Ion Oblemenco." According to Digi Sport, Felgueiras stated that Baiaram is staying and now wants to play in the Champions League with them as well. He added that it is a long road and that they can improve compared to last year. In the 2025/2026 SuperLiga season, Baiaram made 27 appearances, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists. The Romanian international, who has 6 caps and 1 goal for his country, joined the club in July 2019 and has a contract until 2028, with a current Transfermarkt market value of €5.00m. The decision for him to stay follows reported interest from several clubs, including a recent link to İstanbul Başakşehir. In early 2026, Universitatea Craiova reportedly rejected a €5 million offer from Crvena Zvezda.
