Viorel Moldovan, the president of Rapid, revealed that the club had made attempts to acquire Denis Alibec, the striker from Farul, during both the summer and winter transfer windows, but these efforts were unsuccessful. Moldovan mentioned that Rapid intends to pursue Alibec again after the current season concludes. He conveyed optimism about the possibility of success on the third attempt, noting that everyone desires Alibec, and that Rapid had tried to sign him in both the summer and winter, but it had not been feasible. He suggested that although they missed out twice, there was hope for success on the third try.
