Gigi Becali stated that he had informed Vlad Chiricheș, a 36-year-old Romanian international, that he could leave immediately if he received an offer. Becali clarified that he would consider a bid of one and a half to two million euros to be a real offer, but specified he would not allow the player to join Gaziantep. In response to the owner's comments, Chiricheș said that there was nothing left to change and that he could not remain at FCSB under the current conditions. Chiricheș has 78 caps for Romania, joined FCSB in July 2023, and holds a contract until June 30, 2026. He has made 9 appearances in the SuperLiga in the 2025/26 season.
