What we know

Dinamo are pursuing a winter transfer for Sepsi attacking midfielder Hunor Batzula. Reports indicate interest and potential negotiations for the January window.

His contract at Sepsi runs until 2031. The interest emerged on 27 Sep, when Tikitaka reported that Dinamo and Universitatea Craiova sent scouts to monitor the player. On 30 Sep, iamsport.ro claimed Dinamo added him to their transfer list, while Tikitaka noted Sepsi owner Laszlo Dioszegi stated he is not for sale. By 1 Oct, cabinaVAR and Sport cited Andrei Nicolescu to say Dinamo is looking at winter reinforcements.

Digi Sport and trumedia.ro, citing Fanatik, reported that negotiations have already started.

  • First report: 27 Sept 2026, Tikitaka.
  • 3 independent sources behind it (Tikitaka, cabinaVAR, Sport); 3 other outlets only repeat earlier reporting.

  • 2 reports attribute the story to Fanatik, whose own article is not among the sources.
