According to Fanatik, Marius Șumudică has publicly called for the departure of Valentin Crețu from FCSB. Șumudică stated that if he were the coach of FCSB, Crețu would not be allowed to enter the locker room and would no longer be involved with the club. He explained that he would inform the owner that he did not want to lose the group, which he believes is divided in two, and would advise Crețu to terminate his contract. Șumudică also mentioned that Crețu should have been immediately dismissed or fined between €30,000 and €50,000 for his attitude and words directed at a teammate, noting that the incident was filmed and seen by the entire country.

Valentin Crețu risks being kicked out of the team if FCSB does not reach the playoffs, according to Fanatik.ro.

Valentin Crețu was asked if he would consider playing one last season in the Premier League or for money in Saudi Arabia. He responded that he would choose the Premier League, as it is his dream, but he doesn't believe it will happen.
