Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, expressed his intention to transfer William Baeten, who is no longer in his favor, to FC Voluntari. Becali suggested exchanging Baeten after hearing that Gigi Nețoiu might be interested in Alexandru Pantea. Becali stated, 'Wants Nețoiu? Very well that he took Panțîru, let him take Baeten too. There's time until summer.'

Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, stated that William Baeten is allowed to leave the club during this transfer window. He has been removed from the Superliga list but remains on the Europa League list. If he doesn't transfer, he will continue training with the team and receive his salary. Becali emphasized that while he respects the contract, the player must also respect it until it expires.

Adrian Mititelu, the owner of FC U Craiova, criticized FCSB's decision to renounce William Baeten, a Belgian midfielder bought from FC U Craiova in the summer. Mititelu believes FCSB is undervaluing and underestimating Baeten and hopes Baeten finds another club, possibly in Romania. FC U Craiova received 300,000 euros for Baeten's sale to FCSB and still holds 50% of his federative rights.

Gigi Becali wants to send William Baeten to FC Botoșani. Becali mentioned that Baeten cost him around 300,000 euros, and he is asking for 100,000 euros to let him go so that the new club can afford his salary.
