Dalian Yingbo star Nicolae Stanciu faces a lucrative FCSB offer, contract decision now a focal point

Dalian Yingbo, after Stanciu’s January 2026 free‑transfer from Genoa, still has the 33‑year‑old Romanian under contract until the end of 2026. Gigi Becali (68) has put forward a proposal worth roughly €1 million per season, combining base salary and performance bonuses. Stanciu’s next move will directly shape the club’s financial planning and on‑field ambitions for the upcoming campaign.

How attractive is the offer?

Becali’s package includes a guaranteed salary plus bonuses, totalling about €1 million annually. Stanciu wants the sum to represent only guaranteed pay, not variable bonuses. Accepting would mean forfeiting his Chinese tax‑gross salary of roughly €3 million, as reported by Soho. The move would give FCSB a midfielder with 15 national‑team goals and 87 caps.

Why does this matter for Dalian Yingbo?

The club sits mid‑table in the Super League, and Stanciu is the central playmaker. His departure would strip Dalian Yingbo of a key organizer, forcing the hierarchy to hunt for an equal‑quality replacement during the window. Meanwhile, a clause allows a one‑year extension, meaning a renewed contract could keep the veteran until 2027.

What could happen next?

Adrian Porumboiu (75), former referee and longtime FC Vaslui backer, warned Stanciu that “this is the last shout”. He noted the Romanian has roughly two years left in his playing career, so financial security should top the list. If Stanciu stays, he will continue to push Dalian Yingbo up the Asian rankings; if he moves to FCSB, he could revive his domestic profile. Both sides are expected to finalize decisions before the summer transfer window closes.
