Denis Drăguș has made a heartfelt return to Romania after seven long years, joining the ranks of FCSB as their new striker. At 27 years old, Drăguș expressed his happiness and pride in representing what he calls 'the biggest and most beloved team in Romania.' His journey back is more than just a transfer; it symbolizes a homecoming filled with ambition and hope.

Having left the SuperLiga in the summer of 2019, Drăguș had a successful stint abroad, notably transferring from Viitorul to Standard Liege for 1.8 million euros. His time away has equipped him with valuable experiences, as he reflects, "After years filled with experiences, challenges, beautiful moments, and lessons that made me stronger, a new chapter begins."

In his message to fans, Drăguș promised he is ready to impress and bring the same hunger and ambition to the pitch. "Thank you for your trust. I am ready to give my all for this jersey, for the team, and for the supporters," he said. This commitment is echoed by his wife, Vanessa, who described FCSB as 'the most beautiful team in Romania,' celebrating their return after years away.

As the excitement builds for the upcoming SuperLiga match between Dinamo and FCSB on Saturday at 20:30, Drăguș's presence is sure to energize fans. He recently completed summer training with Trabzonspor but hasn't played in any friendly matches. His last appearance on the field was on June 6, 2026, during a match between Romania and Wales, where he played for 26 minutes.

Vanessa Drăguș shared her thoughts on their return via Instagram, stating, "After seven years, we are coming back home, and not just anywhere, but to the most beautiful team in Romania." She added, "It feels different to be home this time," capturing the couple's excitement and optimism as they embark on this new chapter together.
