it is more than ok to be extremely skeptical about this rumor
It is exceedingly OK to be monumentally skeptical about this rumor

reasons being:
1. Steaua/FCSB's owner is literally a crazy person.
2. Coman is 21, and one of the stars of the Romania U21 squad that made the semis at the Euro U21 this year. His peers include Ianis Hagi (Genk), Razvan Marin (Ajax), Ionut Radu (Genoa). Also, another dude who's at Steaua/FCSB, Man.
3. Coman will likely want a club in Europe and has been "linked" with Sporting Lisbon and such.
4. See point #1, I cannot stress that enough.
dummyrun shared this gem from when Mitrita got signed:
www.gsp.ro
Gigi Becali was extremely pleased with the transfer of Alexandru Mitriță to New York City, a team that will pay those at CSU Craiova not less than 9 million euros.
"I am happy for the large amount that was paid for Miter. Even though it's $ 9 million, I think it's all euros. Whatever is sold is expensive, it automatically raises the price of my players. Tudor Băluță on the transfermarkt had a quota of 200,000, but it sold for 3 million. Man has on the transfermarkt 3.5 million euros. Let's multiply by 10 and get to 35 million. I told you we would sell for the hard money. Now we have to have the goods.
If Miter makes 9 million, then Man is clearly making 40 million. I wanted Tudor Băluță to take me too. I was glad to see that the two of them left for a lot of money. When they leave for a lot of money, my wealth also increases. In the autumn Man will be 50 million euros, there will be 30 more.
I also told Coman that I sell a lot of money, but I don't believe in it anymore. It does not grow. He had to grow up. Look at Man, he is always growing. I took Coman at 19 and he is 21 now. That's why I don't have the courage to say anything about him, even though he's more talented than Man. But here the work comes in, "Gigi Becali told Pro X.
Gigi Becali exultă după transferul lui Alex Mitriță: „E clar că Man face 40 de milioane, până în toamnă o să valoreze 50 de milioane de euro!” + îl desființează pe Coman: „Nu mai cred în el”

The MLS players most likely to be sold during the winter transfer window
With the regular season over, some notable MLS performers could be on their way out
theathletic.com
Counts Taty as one of the players that could get transferred out this window. Not mind blowing news. But an interesting tidbit was that it may hinge on Argentina making the 2020 Olympics. It says Taty would then prefer to stay in NYC where he’s comfortable his performance won’t drop off due to adjustment and make the roster. Also, NYCFC have guaranteed they’d let him leave for the Olympics and a new Euro team may not.
Don’t see there being any truth to this. Wouldn’t make sense unless we know already that Taty won’t be here. Still, there’s a lot of depth up front. I also think it would be a high profile signing that wouldn’t really do much to change attendance
Not even Giroud could connect on most of our crosses.
What's funny about it, is they mention that our competition to sign him is Vancouver and they've been the ones previously identified as where he doesn't want to go.
I don't see how he fits here with Heber and Taty though. I know we all think Taty isn't here much longer, and I'm in that boat too, but I don't see how it would make sense to have someone like Giroud here while both Heber and Taty are still on the roster.
So he and Claudio don’t get along? Because the roster is Claudio’s doing.
The roster is the best thing the Club has going for it.
Yes. And imagine if the hit rate on the DPs was 3 and not 1.5.
What about Matarrita? Can he come back from this mistake? It was a big one, and this is a guy whose career has been failing to take off for a couple of years now.
I wonder if it might be better for him to start fresh elsewhere, and I ask that not out of bitterness or anger, but honestly wondering if he can put this one behind him.

I think he can come back from this mistake. We have a good team and a good group of guys. He'll get the support he needs to move past this and hopefully he can use it to motivate him to improve next season if he re-signs with us. Namely, I think if he improves his stamina to be able to go a full 90 without dropping in quality, he'd be a better player. He gets tired early and then gets lazy. Especially after making a long run to get forward, which he loves to do, and I am ok with.
His problem the past few seasons was getting injured very easily. This season was the first time he spend a significant amount of time off the injured list and he was performing pretty well the last 4 or 5 games. I always thought his problem was stamina and focus. Both of which can be improved. Hopefully, they do.
FWIW - i'd like to see Haak and Scally get more minutes next year. Haak has SO much potential from what i've seen and Scally is world cup squad quality. They need more time to gain experience.
Don’t gaslight Mata - he has ALWAYS been a horrible defender. He had injury problems and also defending problems. There is zero reason to bring him back on a new contract, none. He’s not the future of the position, and at this point he’s a fan-angered pariah. I’ll go out on a limb that and posit that there is a zero percent chance that all of his teammates won’t hold a grudge. Statistically speaking, somebody will blame him for the crashout - the looks on a few of their faces were of anger last night when it happened, not simply shock, and Mata has a history of losing his composure with recklessness.
