George Pușcaș (29 years old), striker free from contract in the summer, would be one step away from Dinamo. The Romanian international has not played since June, at the end of last season, when he was at Bodrumspor.
The 29-year-old has been out of contract since the summer, after parting ways with the Turkish outfit. Puscaș has not found another commitment, but he would be one step away from playing in League 1 for the first time in his career.

“George Pușcaș is one step away from Dinamo”, transmitted Nicolo Schira, mercato expert, on X's personal account.
Dinamo has Stipe Perica and Karamoko in the forward position. Kopic also played without the classic “peak” in some games this season.
The Croatian scored only two goals this Superliga season, in 13 games played. Mamadou Karamoko scored 5 times in League 1, in 15 matches played. The Frenchman is, however, a left winger at the base, being used only when needed in the center of the attack.
Pušcaș would have a chance to be a starter in Zeljko Kopic's team, if the transfer materializes.

George scored 8 times last season in the Turkish championship, in 34 games played. He was not, however, kept by Bodrumspor, who relegated to the second Turkish echelon.

Andrei Nicolescu: “We are also looking carefully for strikers in the winter”
Andrei Nicolescu, Dinamo's president, announced last month that he wants to bring in another striker in the winter. At the same time, he publicly expressed his disappointment with Perica's performance
La Perica is getting annoying. Our strikers are in debt, now they are becoming more in debt. Instead of waking up a bit, they become more and more indebted to the club and to these supporters. Those phases were very frustrating. The ball did not want to enter the goal. Kopic was right, you have one or two, you have to give them, otherwise you struggle, you pedal empty.
We also look closely for strikers in the winter. I had a discussion with Perica, we will have another discussion now because it's a matter of attitude, the way he prepares, he dedicates himself to this club. I hope they understand in these matches too. At the moment he is not doing enough for him and the club. We lost two points.
