To find himself on the radar of foreign clubs after scoring 16 league goals in the 2023/24 season is not surprising. It will be entirely expected if Arnel Jakupović waves goodbye to Maribor this summer. But could he move to Romania? Local media there are convinced: Arnel Jakupović is a transfer target for FCSB. This is the former Steaua, the club controlled by the controversial businessman Gigi Becali, who previously brought Ante Vukušić from Slovenia but quickly “removed” him from the team and “expelled” him from the club.

Steaua is currently leading the Romanian league standings, with a significant 9-point lead over Rapid. It will be difficult for them to lose the title, and according to Romanian media, Gigi Becali is already thinking about “a campaign in Europe“. And Arnel Jakupović, who has had a stellar season in the purple jersey, is part of his plans.
But if Becali wants to succeed in his endeavor, he will have to dig deep into his pockets. Media reports in Romania add that Maribor’s financial expectations are high and exceed even a million euros. Moreover, Maribor is said to have already sent a message to Bucharest that Arnel Jakupović is simply not for sale for less than 1.2 million euros.
