The striker, who grew up at Augsburg's academy, is very close to a loan at Corvinul, according to journalist Emanuel Roșu.
Luca Bărbulescu arrived at Dinamo this summer as a player free of contract. The 18-year-old striker has a contract valid for three years with an option to extend, but for now he is not part of the plans of the “dogs”.

Dinamo is looking for options for the youngsters in the team: “Children who have played very little will go to play”
Recently Andrei Nicolescu, the president of Dinamo, conveyed the fact that for several young people from the “dogs” team who did not have the opportunity to get minutes.
It is about the right defender Alexandru Tabuncic (19 years old), the central defender Cristian Licsandru (22 years old) and the central midfielder Casian Soare (19 years old) and Luca Bărbulescu, 18 years old striker.
“For us, for sure, the children who have played very little will go to play or, at least, be there, with more chances to play in other teams. We are looking for solutions, at the moment, for Tabuncic, a solution for Luca (Bărbulescu), a solution for Licsandru, probably, let's see for Casi (Casian Soare).
So we are still trying to move from those borrowed by us. For example, we are trying to find a solution for Gavrilă (Darius Gavrilă, 18 years old, offensive midfielder), from Tunari, because there, somehow, he is no longer in the graces of the coach and he is a player who has an age at which he must play.
There are a lot of discussions, mostly for children”, Andrei Nicolescu said.
