FCSB owner Gigi Becali has revealed that he values South African defender
Siyabonga Ngezana at a staggering €7 million (±R144 million). This is more
than 10 times more than the initial €600 000 (±R12.3 million) transfer fee
paid to Kaizer Chiefs in June!
Ngezana was signed by Becali four months ago and has since gone from
relative novice abroad to a mainstay in the FCSB side, despite initial
fears that he was struggling to adapt to life in Europe. Having allayed
those fears, Ngezana has everyone, including his club’s charismatic owner,
singing a different tune, with Becali recently revealing that he plans to
raid the South African market to recruit more players of Ngezana’s
calibre.
It appears that Becali, who took over the club presidency in 2003, has put
his money where his mouth is, showing just how highly he rates Ngezana.
According to Romanian publication Digisport, Becali has slapped a €7
million price tag on the 26-year-old in the event that any team expresses
an interest in him.
Ngezana has made six appearances since making the switch to FCSB in June
and has managed one goal and a further assist in that time.

impressive performances have caught the eye of Becali, who is keen to
recruit more players of Ngezana’s calibre from the South African market.
According to Romanian publication Digisport, Becali has made it clear that
Ngezana is not for sale, unless a team is willing to meet his €7 million
price tag. The 26-year-old has made six appearances for FCSB, scoring one
goal and providing one assist.
