Telegram channel Dynamo Kyiv Inside has spoken about the financial situation at Dynamo before the start of the new season.

But it is not just a new season. We dare to call it some new mini-epoch in the history of the club. Financially. For the first time, so clearly and for the first time, we can witness the sunset of the "era of maxi-spending". War, politics, the economy, failing results - all 4 factors have led to the logical decision - "belt-tightening".
The vast majority of players who were getting their monthly $25-90K have received "offers you can't refuse" that cut their salaries by a factor of 2-3. Consistent with recent achievements. Right now, the office staffing streamlining is being completed, with all the ensuing outcomes.
Is this step by the club owners the right one? At the moment, probably, yes. Except for an important nuance. It is difficult to find an analogue in the world of professional football, where half of the annual budget goes to pay the head coach. And that coach is by no means Pochettino or Nagelsmann/Clopp. The wise Romanian has not been offered a pay cut this off-season. Contract, you see. That's why Romanian is wise," the report said.
