Sorin Cârțu, the honorary president of Universitatea Craiova, indicated that the club is interested in acquiring Daniel Bîrligea, a player from their rival club FCSB, due to his impressive current form and the missed opportunities by Craiova's players. Cârțu noted that having an attacker like Bîrligea would have been advantageous for the team, particularly in light of recent performances. He referred to Elvir Koljic's significant miss against Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe as an example, which underscored the need for a dependable forward. Despite expressing interest, Cârțu suggested that the transfer would be complex and emphasized the importance for the club to assess and make difficult decisions concerning their existing squad.
