FCSB has proposed a contract extension to Vlad Chiricheș, with a reduced salary. Currently earning 30,000 euros per month, the new contract would offer him 20,000 euros per month. Gigi Becali expressed confidence that Chiricheș will accept the new terms, albeit not under the same conditions. Chiricheș returned to FCSB in 2023 after terminating his contract with Cremonese. His career has included stints at Napoli, Tottenham, Sassuolo, and Cremonese, but has been marred by numerous injuries.

Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, has changed his mind regarding Vlad Chiricheș and now plans to offer him a contract extension in the summer. Previously, there was a possibility of parting ways with the experienced defensive player before the winter transfer window. Becali is willing to offer Chiricheș a new contract in the summer, where he will serve both as a player and as an assistant coach. Chiricheș returned to FCSB in the summer of 2023 as a free agent after leaving Cremonese.

In the summer of 2023, Vlad Chiricheș made his return to FCSB, signing a two-year contract with an annual salary around 400,000 euros, marking the highest salary in the team. However, during the 2023/2024 season, Chiricheș sustained an injury that sidelined him for several months. During his recovery, he requested a salary reduction and was paid only 5,000 euros. Gigi Becali indicated his willingness to offer Chiricheș a new contract, contingent upon his ability to stay injury-free. Chiricheș's current contract with FCSB is set to expire at the end of the season. Becali conveyed his confidence in Chiricheș's skills, noting that his presence on the field provides security and boosts the team's performance.
