The Cypriot club APOEL is reportedly on the hunt for a new goalkeeper, and Devis Epassy, the 33-year-old Cameroonian shot-stopper, is one of the names being considered. The goalkeeper, who has seen a significant decline in playing time since the arrival of new coaches at Dinamo, might be on the verge of leaving the Romanian club.
Epassy was a mainstay in Dinamo’s goal last season, but since the arrival of coach Nuno Campos and his assistant Alaa Bellaarouch, the Cameroonian has been relegated to the bench. The arrival of Moroccan goalkeeper Younes Belaïli on loan from Braga has made it increasingly difficult for Epassy to break back into the team.
The APOEL Connection
According to sources from Cypriot football, APOEL is looking for a reliable goalkeeper to strengthen their squad, and Epassy is seen as a viable option. The club from Nicosia is seeking a solution to their goalkeeping woes, and the Cameroonian’s experience is being touted as a good fit.
The Road to Dinamo
Epassy’s journey to Dinamo began in the summer of 2025 when he signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2027. The Cameroonian was initially touted as a replacement for Alexandru Roșca, and he went on to make 31 appearances for the club, conceding 33 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 9 games.
Before joining Dinamo, Epassy had stints at CD Guijuelo, SAS Epinal, Rennes B, OFI Creta, Karmiotissa, Abha, PAS Lamia, and Levadiakos. He has also earned 16 caps for the Cameroonian national team and is valued at €400,000 by football experts.
APOEL’s Goalkeeping Conundrum
Epassy’s possible departure from Dinamo might not be the only transfer news surrounding the Cameroonian goalkeeper. He has also been linked with Santa Clara, a club currently sitting 13th in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and UTA Arad, a Romanian club that has expressed interest in his services. However, no agreement has been reached with either club, leaving Epassy’s future hanging in the balance.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper’s experience and reliability make him an attractive option for APOEL, but will he be able to overcome the competition from other goalkeepers to secure a move to Cyprus? Only time will tell if Epassy’s Dinamo stint will come to an end, and if he will join the APOEL squad.
Epassy’s departure from Dinamo could be a wake-up call for the Romanian club, who will need to regroup and reassess their goalkeeping options. Will they be able to find a suitable replacement for the Cameroonian goalkeeper, or will they suffer the consequences of his departure?
