DR Congo international defender Dylan Batubinsika has joined Romanian club FCSB on a free transfer as he looks to secure regular football and continue his career at European level.
The 30-year-old centre-back has signed for the Bucharest-based side after leaving his previous club arrangements behind, with FCSB confirming the arrival of the experienced defender ahead of their UEFA Conference League qualifying campaign.
Batubinsika, who will wear the number 21 shirt, has already been included in the squad for FCSB’s second qualifying round tie in the competition, highlighting the club’s confidence in his ability to make an immediate contribution.
Born in France, the defender represents DR Congo internationally and has established himself as one of the experienced figures within the Leopards squad.
His latest move provides him with another opportunity to compete at a high level after a career that has taken him across several European leagues.
FCSB believe Batubinsika’s arrival will strengthen their defensive options as they prepare for both domestic and continental challenges.
The Romanian club sees the DR Congo international as a player capable of bringing leadership, physical strength and tactical discipline to their back line.
Although details of the contract, including its duration and financial terms, have not been disclosed, the transfer represents an important step for both player and club.
For Batubinsika, the move comes at a stage of his career where consistent playing time remains a priority. He will now aim to establish himself as a key figure in FCSB’s defence while maintaining his position within the DR Congo national team setup.
The defender arrives with valuable international experience and a background of competing in demanding football environments.
His understanding of defensive organisation and his ability to handle pressure are expected to be important assets for the Romanian side.
FCSB, one of Romania’s most recognised clubs, will hope Batubinsika can provide stability at the heart of their defence as they pursue success domestically and in European competition.
The move also represents another chapter in the journey of a player who has balanced club football in Europe with international responsibilities for DR Congo.
Batubinsika has previously featured for Greek Super League club AEL, where he continued his professional career before making the switch to Romania.
His experience at club level, combined with his international involvement with the Leopards, was a major factor behind FCSB’s decision to bring him to Bucharest.
With European qualifiers already underway, Batubinsika could have the chance to make his competitive debut quickly as FCSB seek progress in the UEFA Conference League.
