According to Главком: Kyiv's Dynamo is set to re-sign former defender Tomasz Kędziora.

The parties have agreed on the main terms of the transfer, and Kędziora will sign a two-year contract with Dynamo. The final decision on the move is expected after consultations within the 32-year-old Pole's family. The transfer fee will exceed one million euros.

For context, Kędziora played for Dynamo Kyiv from summer 2017 to the end of 2022. During that period, he made 198 appearances across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 20 assists. With Dynamo, the footballer became:

• Ukrainian champion,

In addition, Ukrainian goalkeeper Illia Olkhovyi has moved from Nyva Ternopil to Dynamo. The contract length between the 23-year-old and the Kyiv giant remains undisclosed, as do the financial details of Olkhovyi's deal. Meanwhile, midfielder Valentyn Rubchynskyi has officially returned to Dynamo after a loan spell with Karpaty.
