Cătălin Cîrjan’s impressive performances in the 2024-2025 season have attracted interest from Austrian champions Sturm Graz, who are reportedly prepared to offer around two million euros to secure the Dinamo Bucharest midfielder’s services. However, no official bid has yet been submitted to Dinamo, and the club’s coach, Zeljko Kopic, has firmly ruled out the possibility of letting Cîrjan leave this summer.
Kopic emphasized that although he expects more offers given Cîrjan’s strong season, the player’s departure is not on the agenda. The Croatian coach revealed he has had conversations with Cîrjan, who is determined to stay at Dinamo to continue developing and help the team achieve success. Kopic stated, “For me, his leaving is not an option,” underlining the club’s intent to keep their key midfielder.
Cîrjan himself has echoed this sentiment, declaring his commitment to Dinamo. The 22-year-old stated, “My plan is to remain at Dinamo. I love this club and want to accomplish great things here before considering any move.” He expressed satisfaction with his role and the club environment, signaling no immediate interest in transferring despite external interest.
Market valuations place Cîrjan’s worth at approximately 1.8 million euros, with the Austrian club’s offer slightly exceeding this figure. The player has been a vital asset for Dinamo, contributing eight goals and two assists in 42 appearances during the last season. His recent progression follows a free transfer from Arsenal after a loan spell at FC Rapid in summer 2024.
This sustained interest from a club competing in the Champions League qualifiers underscores Cîrjan’s rising profile in European football. However, Dinamo’s reluctance to sell amid a summer of significant squad changes reflects their ambition to maintain competitive strength in Romania’s SuperLiga.
Additionally, Cîrjan recently served as a model at Dinamo’s official kit presentation event for the 2025-2026 season, highlighting his growing stature within the club. He expressed pride in representing the team and hopes to continue contributing on and off the pitch.
