Panagiotis Tachtsidis was previously on the list of Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, and there have been talks about the possibility of him joining FCSB. Cristi Balaj, the president of CFR Cluj, mentioned that he wouldn't be surprised if an offer from FCSB comes, although he is not aware of any current offer. Tachtsidis was seen talking with Elias Charalambous, which sparked the rumors. In the past, Gigi Becali expressed interest in signing Tachtsidis, but the player extended his contract with CFR Cluj at the last moment.
