"The icon of a famous club comes": in Croatia reacted to the transfer of Garmash

Dynamo midfielder Denys Garmash seems to be finalising his departure from the Kyiv club. The experienced player is to move to Croatian Osijek.

On the previous day, it was reported that Denys Garmash is close to moving to Osijek, which is in second place in the current Croatian championship after 5 rounds. The veteran of Dynamo has only to pass the medical examination.

Croatian edition Sportske novosti confirms the agreement on the transfer of the 33-year-old Ukrainian (however, it does not specify the terms of the deal). Already today, on 29 August, Garmash must pass a medical examination before signing the contract. Together with Denis, the same procedure awaits several other potential newcomers of Osijek.

At the same time, the Croatian media expresses a lot of euphoria over the transition of the Ukrainian midfielder. "One of the most high-profile reinforcements in the history of Osijek. The club has never signed a player with such a rich biography. An icon of a famous club comes in. This is a player with exactly the profile that Osijek needs right now," Sportske novosti writes.

Garmash will be the second Ukrainian in the line-up of Osijek. The Croatian club already has 22-year-old Oleksandr Drambaev on loan from Shakhtar. The defender has already played 8 matches in all tournaments.

In the season 2023/24 Garmash has not yet played in the Dynamo first team. The midfielder played 361 matches for the Bilo-Syni, in which he scored 54 goals and gave 45 assists. Denis also has experience of playing in Turkey - in the second half of the 2020/21 season he played 16 matches for Rizespor (3 goals). His contract with Dynamo is valid until 30 June 2025.
