The Russian and the Ganac should have signed for Dynamo today, but the Blues won't sign them for the Champions League.

Dinamo Zagreb is set to announce the signings of Russian forward Kiril Kravcov and young winger Fuzy Taylor in the coming days, according to local media reports. However, both players will not be registered for the club’s upcoming Champions League playoff matches against FK VIKING. The decision comes despite the deadline for submitting player names to the competition authorities having passed earlier this week. The club had planned to unveil two new additions on Monday, with Kravcov and Taylor expected to join the squad after medical checks and contract signings. Reports suggest that discussions over their transfers have been ongoing for some time, with Taylor already being considered for inclusion in the second team ahead of his potential debut in the first team. French midfielder Noah Nsokije, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain, is also expected to feature in Dinamo’s reserve side during the early stages of the season. Despite the anticipated arrivals, neither Kravcov nor Taylor will be available for the crucial Champions League fixtures. This has raised questions among fans and analysts, particularly regarding the timing of their registration. The deadline for adding players to the eligible list was set for late Tuesday, yet Dinamo has chosen not to include them. Some speculate that Kravcov, who is still unregistered for official matches, may require additional time to adapt to the team's system and training methods before he can contribute meaningfully. Kravcov, who is regarded as a potential replacement for captain Josip Mišić, has reportedly struggled to meet the physical and tactical demands of the top-tier league. His arrival was delayed due to negotiations with other clubs and the need to complete all necessary paperwork. As a result, he will likely take several weeks to find his rhythm with the squad. Meanwhile, Taylor, a promising talent, is expected to start in the second team and gradually work his way into the first XI. The absence of these two players adds to the challenge facing Dinamo in its quest to advance in the Champions League. The club will also be without goalkeeper Gabriel Vidović, who has left for Paderborn. His departure has further reduced the number of available options for the play-off matches, which are critical for securing a spot in the group stage. With the tournament approaching, Dinamo faces mounting pressure to ensure it has enough depth and quality to compete effectively. The club’s management has emphasized the importance of long-term planning, even if it means making difficult decisions in the short term. Fans remain hopeful that Kravcov and Taylor will eventually become key contributors, though their immediate impact on the team’s European campaign appears limited.
