Surkis discusses Dynamo Kyiv transfer plans ahead of Europa League

Dynamo Kyiv president Igor Surkis has outlined the club's approach to the transfer market ahead of their upcoming Europa League first qualifying round campaign.

Surkis confirmed that the club is looking for reinforcements, but emphasized that they will not abandon their commitment to youth development. He noted that he had discussed the importance of gaining experience for young players with the president of the Ukrainian Association of Football, Andriy Shevchenko.

We are thinking about strengthening the squad, but in no case are we going to close the door to our youth. We will strengthen specific positions, but we will not block the path for our young guys. Igor Surkis

The team is currently preparing for their European start in a month and a half. Potential opponents for the Kyiv side in the first round of qualification include Vojvodina, Zilina, Universitatea Cluj, Aluminij, Derry City, and Vestri.
