19 Jul 2026, 13:37

Aymen Boutoutaou, a talented 25-year-old winger from France, has officially signed a three-season contract with FCSB. His arrival marks a significant moment for the team, as he is the third transfer announced during this period. With impressive stats from the previous season, where he scored 13 goals and provided 6 assists in 37 matches, Boutoutaou is expected to make a meaningful contribution.

Born in Lille and holding Algerian citizenship, Boutoutaou is not just a skilled player; he brings international experience as a former U20 and U23 player for Algeria. His versatility allows him to play as a right winger, a 'number 10', or on the left flank, giving FCSB tactical flexibility on the field.

Just days after arriving in Bucharest on July 17, Boutoutaou underwent a medical examination and participated in his first training session with FCSB. He was also present at the stadium in Ghencea to witness his new team’s match against FC Argeș, which concluded with a 2-0 victory for FCSB.

The transfer reflects FCSB's ambition, with Gigi Becali revealing the deal cost over one million euros, approximately 1,350,000 euros. This investment illustrates the club’s commitment to strengthening its squad ahead of upcoming challenges. FCSB is set to focus on their next match against FK Auda, scheduled for Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 20:45.

With FCSB free this Sunday, the team will utilize the time to prepare for the match, as they look to integrate Boutoutaou into their strategy. Mihai Stoica, the president of the Board of Directors, has high hopes for the winger, stating there hasn't been a better foreign player in Romania. The excitement around Boutoutaou's transfer is palpable, and fans are eager to see how he will impact the season.
