Dinamo Zagreb has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with 24-year-old Russian midfielder Kiril Kravtsov, who is seen as a potential replacement for captain Josip Miลกiฤ‡. Kravtsov, known for his versatility and ability to play in a more offensive midfield role, was expected to bolster the team.

However, the player's arrival in Zagreb has been stalled due to complications with his visa and documentation. Kravtsov had already begun a journey towards Croatia but had to stop in Belgrade because of these issues. The problem has not been resolved in time, forcing him to return to Russia, where he is currently awaiting the necessary paperwork.

Despite the bureaucratic hurdles, the deal with Kravtsov is said to remain intact. He is expected to undergo a medical examination in Zagreb as soon as his documentation is finalized. The club aims to register him before the transfer window closes. Kravtsov joins Dinamo as a free agent after his contract with Russian club Sochi expired this summer. He previously played for the prominent Russian club Zenit.
