According to a new report from Romanian source Digi Sport yesterday, FCSB owner Gigi Becali is negotiating the sale of Florinel Coman to Orlando City SC.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic causing disruption to everyday life worldwide, news surrounding Florinel Coman’s next move has continued to rumble on over recent months.
Back in February, Orlando City SC reportedly offered €9 million for 40% of Florinel Coman’s rights , only for FCSB to reject these advances.
Then, in a previous report from Digi Sport, dated April 1, Gigi Becali was quoted as saying he is close to sanctioning a huge transaction.
A rueful acceptance that FCSB need to cash in on their prized asset?
So, will Orlando City SC sign Florinel Coman?
In an English translated version of Digi Sport’s latest report, the article claims Gigi Becali is set to agree Orlando City SC‘s original offer of €9 million.
According to the report, Orlando City SC will pay a fee of €5 million up front with two more separate instalments taking the total fee up to €9 million next summer.
With Florinel Coman turning 22 yesterday, the winger would strengthen a real position of need for Orlando City SC.
Oscar Pareja‘s former sides have always boasted talented wide options, and Florinel Coman certainly boasts difference making abilities, at least on paper.
With the Lions already linked to Alex Castro, Álvaro García and Vitinho this winter, it’s clear that Luiz Muzzi and Ricardo Moreira are intent on landing a marquee wide man.
Could that man be Florinel Coman? We’ll have to wait and see!
