The drums of war are beating in Bucharest. Gigi Becali, the flamboyant owner of FCSB, has stepped into the ring with a declaration that echoes through the stadium. The summer of reconstruction has begun, and the stakes have never been higher. The message is clear: the team is evolving, and the future is being written right now.

A New Era for the Red-Blues

Becali didn't mince words. He confirmed that six new players will arrive at the training ground this summer. The squad under manager Marius Baciu is set for a massive overhaul. But the real headline isn't just about incoming talent—it's about retaining the heartbeat of the team. Florin Tănase, the attacking midfielder who has become synonymous with FCSB's attacking flair, is staying put.

"Six players are coming. I told you it would be like this. At least five, six. Tănase signs for two years," Becali stated, leaving no room for doubt. This isn't a whisper; it's a roar. The contract of Tănase was set to expire at the end of June. With a market value hovering around €2 million, the decision to keep him anchored in the capital is a strategic masterstroke. After two years abroad, Tănase returned in the summer of 2024, bringing with him experience and a fire that only a homecoming can ignite.

The Legacy of a Club Legend

The numbers don't lie, and they paint a picture of devotion. Tănase has played 320 matches for FCSB across all competitions. He has scored 105 goals and provided 54 assists. Nearly 25,000 minutes on the pitch tell the story of a player who has given everything to this badge. His journey began in 2016 when he arrived from Viitorul (now Farul Constanța), a transfer orchestrated by Gică Hagi for €1.5 million, despite the player being valued higher at the time.

The path wasn't without detours. In the summer of 2022, Al Jazira lured him away with a €3 million fee. Then, in August 2023, he moved to Al Okhdood in Saudi Arabia. Yet, the pull of the red-blue colors was undeniable. Now, with a fresh two-year contract, Tănase is ready to lead the charge again. The stage is set, the new faces are on the horizon, and FCSB is preparing to strike.
