Dinamo have already set their first target in the summer transfer window

Blănuță will not stay, 100%, at Dinamo Kiev from the summer, and, taking into account the fact that he has not played any more minutes since November 9, 2025, the best option for him seems to be a return to the Super League. And Dinamo is still interested in his services, as GSP wrote in February, and Andrei Nicolescu, the president of the “pack”, confirmed in March: “Obviously, he remains on our radar, in our sights. We'll see what happens in the summer.”

Reactivated interest of “dogs” for Vladislav Blănuță

Dinamo also wanted him in the “mercato di repaira” in the winterbut a potential move was prevented by UEFA regulations, which prohibit a player from playing for three clubs in the same season, having already logged minutes for FCU Craiova in the 2025-26 season. Now, the interest of the “dogs” has been reactivated, and Dinamo's bosses are hoping for a top transfer in the summer.

Vladislav Blănuță took his last steps in the junior team at Pescaraand in 2022 he arrived in Romania, initially as a loan to FCU Craiova, a transfer that later became permanent.

1.5 million eurosis Vladislav Blănuță's quota, according to the transfermarkt specialist portal. Compared to autumn, his share decreased by 500,000 euros.

In Banie, he scored 9 goals and 3 assists, however he had the best performance in the Super League at Cluj University. After Olten's relegation to the 2nd League, Adrian Mititelu loaned him to U Cluj, where Blănuță managed 12 goals and 4 decisive assists, although Ioan Ovidiu Sabău used him, most of the time, from the reserve position

In the summer of 2025, the striker returned to FCU Craiova and performed including in the 3rd League. On August 30, 2025, he started in the FCU Craiova – Academica Balș 0-0 draw, and four days later, on September 3, the club announced his transfer to Dinamo Kiev for 2 million euros. Later, FCU Craiova was disaffiliated, a decision challenged in court by Adrian Mititelu.

There were two exceptions in the regulation, which the striker did not meet:

• a player has the right to play in official matches for a third club in that season, if the club to which he is registered no longer participates in the competition, during the season, for various reasons (withdrawal from the competition, disaffiliation, bankruptcy, exclusion, etc.);

• a player whose contract was unilaterally terminated by the judicial administrator, based on the provisions of Law no. 85/2014 on insolvency prevention and insolvency procedures, has the right to play in official matches for a third club in that season;

• therefore, Blănuță could have been registered at a third club only if the meaning of the transfer had been reversed, i.e. he played in Kiev the first time, then arrived at FCU Craiova. As the Oltean group was disaffiliated in the middle of the competition, Blănuță became eligible for a third club in the same season;

Blănuță, persona non grata since the beginning of the adventure at Dinamo Kyiv

Blanuță's adventure at the formation from the capital of Ukraine was one marked by impediments and polemics. Ever since he arrived, there has been a scandal around his name related to the pro-Russian statements that Blanuță would have appreciated or redistributed on social networks, and the player was pulled into a “dead line”.

He was taken to the winter camp, and Igor Kostyuk, the Ukrainian technician, announced that he would rely on the former “pearl” of Adrian Mititelu.

However, he has not ticked a single minute since November 9, 2025when Blănuță caught 10 minutes to go with LNZ Cherkasy, the revelation of this season in the Ukrainian “Premier League”.

His last offensive contribution came three days before this, on 6 November, scoring in a 6-0 Conference League Group A triumph over Zrinjski Mostar. He was a substitute in the following games, but he has ten consecutive matches in which he doesn't even catch the ball!

What solutions does Zeljko Kopic have in the forward position

This season, Zeljko Kopic has used several players in the forward position.

🔷 Alexandru Pop scored important goals for “dogs”: in extra time with U Cluj, Universitatea Craiova and Farul, in the regular season, in the play-off with CFR Cluj, but also with Metalul Buzău, in the Romanian Cup, a goal that recorded the qualification of the red-whites in the penultimate act of the competition, where they will meet tomorrow, from 20:30, at the largest stadium in the country, Universitatea Craiova.

🔷 Stipe Perica complained of back problems since the start of the season and his performance was low, scoring twice until the winter when he left for Uzbekistan at Neftchi Fergana, where he already won a trophy, the Supercup, and was voted player of the month for March.

🔷 Alberto Soro, the Spaniard reinvented this season in the “pack”, was forced into the false “9” position, in the absence of a genuine top. The Iberian has 4 goals and 3 assists in the current season, but his performance in this position has not been great, although he scored with Universitaea Craiova in the regular season, being used as a striker.

🔷 Mamoudou Karamoko, Dinamo's top scorer, with six successes, tied with Danny Armstrong and Cătălin Cîrjan, he feels better in the left lane of the attack.

🔷 George Pușcaș, the most important acquisition of Dynamo players during the winter period, still in pain, not 100% physically and being gradually introduced by the Croatian technician to the “dogs” line-upafter he had not played since June 1, 2025 before the transfer to the “pack”: he was introduced, each time in the same minute, 57, in the last three games played by Dinamo in the championship, with FC Argeș (1-1), CFR Cluj (1-1) and Cluj University (2-1).

• Dinamo plays tomorrow, from 20:30, at the National Arena, with Craiova University for a place in the final of the Romanian Cup on May 13, where Cluj University awaits;

• Three days away, the “dogs” have a derby in the first leg of the return of the Superligi play-off, with Rapid, on Sunday, from 21:00;
