In the summer of 2021, Dynamo Kyiv signed Venezuelan forward DAC Erik Ramirez. Kyiv managed to reach an agreement with the Slovakian club, and previously agreed on a contract with the player. Eric arrived in Kyiv to undergo a medical examination and sign a contract. But the Latin American show began.
Brian CeballosHe and his agents sat in a hotel and demanded a better contract. He did everything to get his salary increased. Something did not suit him, something he misunderstood. A whole "Santa Barbara" started with the desire to get a better personal contract or more money. The parties compromised and Eric signed a contract with Dynamo. But the "hungry" Ramirez from Slovakia was very different from the "well-fed" Ramirez in Kyiv.
Everything is now very similar with the potential newcomer Brian Ceballos. "Dynamo has agreed on the amount of the release clause with the Colombian's club, Fortaleza. They also agreed on a personal contract with Ceballos himself. Bryan flew to Kyiv to undergo a medical examination and sign the contract. Then the "Santa Barbara" story of fear of war, shelling, and blackouts began. Although nothing extraordinary happened during Brian's stay in Kyiv. There were much worse times. All these Latin American tears are only aimed at throwing money at his personal contract and convincing him to stay despite the war.
I understand that Dynamo can't be fooled by that. If the problem for Ceballos is the light, shelling, and war, the problem for the club is the Colombian's anthropometry. Transfermarkt gave him 189 cm, but the reality is 182. This may not be enough for athletic Ukrainian football.
Will Dynamo sign Ceballos? I think it's 50-50. The usual bidding is going on, the pressure from the player on the club.
