Dinamo lead chase for Konoplyanka

Dinamo Moscow appear to be the main candidates to sign Ukraine hotshot Yevhen Konoplyanka, according to Izvestia.

The 24-year-old has caught the eye of top European clubs with some dazzling performances for club and country and everything suggests he will be leaving his current employers in January.

Izvestia has learned that Dnipro have slapped an €18 million price tag on their star player, which seems to have put Dinamo Moscow in pole position.

While clubs from English Premier League and German Bundesliga are not willing to go above €12 million, the Russian free-spenders are reportedly prepared to meet the asking price in full.

However, it remains to be seen whether the talented footballer will agree to move to Russian Premier League amidst interest from some of Europe’s top sides.

Yevhen Konoplyanka has so far bagged 23 goals in 119 league appearances for Dnipro, while also scoring 10 goals in 44 Ukraine caps.
