The Portuguese pivot Victor Iturriza (35 years old) will play for Dinamo Bucharest from next season.
Dinamo has started to complete its squad for next season, and the first top player to sign with the Romanian champion is the Portuguese of Cuban origin, Victor Iturriza. Sources close to the Dinamo club confirmed for GSP that Victor Iturriza will play in the next two seasons for the champion team.
Victor Iturriza reached an agreement with Dinamo: the “bosses” are strengthening with a pivot
The Portuguese pivot is 1.93 centimeters tall and transferred from Porto to Al Kuwait last season. Victor Iturriza wanted to return to the Champions League after playing for Porto for 9 seasons.
In choosing the Dynamo club, it was also important for Iturriza that he would be coached by Portugal's coach, Paulo Pereira. Victor Iturriza plays in defense in a central position and at Dinamo he will replace the Danish Frederik Ladefoged (29 years old), who will leave for PSG.
Iturriza was in advanced talks with Veszprem, but the Hungarian team brought in Egyptian Ahmed Abdel this summer.
In January, at the European Championship, Portugal with Iturriza in the team ranked 5th, after defeating Sweden, score 36-35, a match in which the future Dynamo pivot scored 4 goals from 4 shots. Another pivot will come to Dinamo, as the Hungarian Miklos Rosta will also leave the team at the end of the season.
This season, the results of the “doulas” were not satisfactory, and they are trying to strengthen themselves. Although Dinamo has two more matches to play in the Champions League, with Kolstad at home and Sporting away, the team led from the bench by Paulo Pereira was mathematically eliminated from the group stage.
However, in the National League Dinamo is positioned very well: it is in first place, with 22 points accumulated in 13 stages, two points away from the chasing Buzău.
