Today, at 14:50, Dinamo broadcast on social networks that “the first transfer of 2026 is here”, inviting supporters to access the club's application to discover who it is. It's just that the app wasn't working for a lot of users, taking a good few minutes for them to access the platform and find out that it is about Valentin Țicu.
The first transfer of the year to Dinamo was officially announced, but not through social networks, but in the club's application.
At 2:50 p.m., Dinamo sent on their social accounts only that “the first transfer of 2026 is here” and that “all the information is exclusively in the application”.

Fail to present Dinamo's new transfer
Some supporters complained that the player's name was not announced directly on social media, but beyond that, there was a technical problem. Several users have had problems with accessing the application, needing good minutes to enter and officially confirm that it is Valentin Țicu.
Several fans complained about the issues in the comments section on Facebook:
“The app crashed”, “If the app worked, that would be great”, “Which app, the one that doesn't work?” or “It's ridiculous that after all this time the app doesn't work. Big failGazeta's reporters also encountered this delay in accessing the application.
Țicu has not played since July 2024, and some fans charged the management: “Title transfers when?”
In the announcement of the transfer, Dinamo reported that Țicu, coming from the position of player free of contract after terminating with Petrol, “signed a deal valid until the end of the current seasonwith an extension option from the club for three more seasons”.
We recall that the native of Ploiești has not played since July 2024when he seriously injured his knee.
His physical condition and the uncertainty about the level at which he can still play have caused several negative commentssome even displaced, of Dinamo's supporters. Here are the ones with multiple likes:
-
“It's the ideal transfer for Dinamo: he doesn't make mistakes in defense because, most likely, he will watch the matches from the safest place in the stadium – the official stand, next to Mr. Nicolescu.”
-
“This is the big transfer, kept under wraps, what if we were to transfer Neymar? Are you kidding me?”
-
“Has the 2026 “rabla” program started in Dinamo's yard? Title transfers when?“
26 minutes after they communicated the transfer in the app, the announcement was also published on social networks.

The ordeal of Valentin Țicu
In the summer of 2024, Țicu suffered a serious injury, which derailed his career: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and injury to the meniscus of his left knee.
Normally, Țicu should have returned in less than a year, but the recovery turned into an ordeal because the first operation to repair the ligament was not successful.
The suspected reason for the footballer? An infection found in the knee, which would have caused the ligament replacement graft not to attach as it should have.
He needed a second operation 9-10 months after the first.
