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.
