Central defender Nikita Stoinov (20 years old) was transferred by Dinamo in the summer. The “dogs” paid 450,000 euros to those from Netanyaand the stopper established himself as a starter since his debut on August 2, 2025, against rivals from FCSB.
The Israeli has been called up to both his country's U21 national team and the senior team, and Dinamo hopes to make a good deal with him when they decide to sell him.
When he signed with Dinamo, Stoinov put a condition: fixed termination clause. And the dynamists set it to 1.5 million eurosaccording to prosport.ro.

Through the voice of President Andrei Nicolescu, Dinamo announced that he refused several important offers for Cătălin Cîrjan and Alexandru Musi.
If in their case, the club decided unilaterally, the same will not happen in the case of Stoinov. Without giving his name, Nicolescu specified that a footballer transferred in the summer of 2025 has a termination clause.
No player from Dinamo has a termination clause. We only have one, who was transferred this summer.
It's better that way at the time when we have to build. We have to raise the quota of the players and the club a lot and only then put such clauses.

The Israeli signed a 4-year contract with Dinamo in the summer of 2025, but the agreement is void when a club pays the termination clause and slaps the footballer.

Apart from Stoinov, Dinamo risks losing their other starting central defender at the end of the season. It is about Kennedy Boateng (29 years old), who is entering the last 6 months of his contract and can sign with another team.
And Zeljko Kopic could use a couple of completely changed central defenders from next season. It is the compartment in which Dinamo is the worst from a numerical point of view, the two being the only basic stoppers in the group.
Nikita Stoinov played 20 matches for Dinamo this season, 1,785 minutes.
