Noah Nsoki (19) left the French champions and signed for Dinamo on a free transfer, with Russian midfielder Kiril Kravtsov and Ghanaian Fuzy Taylor expected to arrive in Zagreb soon.
Dinamo Zagreb has continued its string of high-profile summer signings. On August 8, 2026, the Maksimir club officially confirmed the arrival of 19-year-old French winger Noah Nsoki from Paris Saint-Germain. The young attacker arrived on a free transfer, but the Parisian club secured a significant percentage of any future sale.
Dinamo's initial offer was around 700,000 euros plus ten percent of the next transfer, which PSG rejected. In the end, it was agreed that the French champions would receive as much as 50 percent of any future sale, which speaks volumes about the potential they see in this player. According to Transfermarkt, his current value is one million euros.
Born on February 20, 2007, in Tournan-en-Brie, near Paris, Nsoki stands 185 centimeters tall and primarily plays as a left winger, though he is also comfortable in other attacking positions. He is right-footed, which allows him to cut inside from the left and look for a shot or a final pass. He joined PSG in 2020 and signed a scholarship contract in April 2025 until the summer of 2027.
He came through the entire youth system of the Parisian club, where he captained the younger categories. First-team coach Luis Enrique considered him one of the academy's most talented players, but the path to more significant playing time was blocked by stars such as Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué. He made just two official appearances for PSG's senior team, one in the league and one in the cup. With the club, he won last season's Ligue 1 title, the Trophée des Champions, and two French U19 championship titles.
Although he is a major talent, those at Maksimir are aware that Nsoki is not a finished first-team player. The plan is for him to make his first senior steps in the B team under coach Jerko Leko, where he will have the chance to adapt to a new environment without unnecessary pressure. "The club wants to avoid placing too much burden and unrealistic expectations on his shoulders." The speed of his adaptation will also determine his eventual move to the first-team dressing room led by Mario Kovačević.
Competition for the wing positions at Dinamo is not small. On the left side, the natural options are Mislav Oršić and Arber Hoxha, while the right side is covered by Mateo Lisica and new signing, Spaniard Dani Rodriguez. Nsoki arrives in Zagreb as the type of investment Dinamo traditionally prefers: a young, fast, technically gifted player with room for significant value growth. The club hopes he will develop a career similar to Dani Olmo, rather than "burning out" like some previous attempts.
The arrival of a player from PSG is a huge recognition for Dinamo's chief Zvonimir Boban and his associates. Nsoki had numerous offers, but after talks with Boban, he and his family concluded that Maksimir is the ideal destination to start a potentially great career. This summer alone, Dinamo has done business with giants like Barcelona, Porto, and now PSG.
However, Nsoki's arrival is not the end of Dinamo's summer transfer window. The primary goal of the management is to resolve the goalkeeper issue and find a replacement for Dominik Livaković as soon as possible. Negotiations with Fenerbahçe have dragged on, so there is growing impatience as to whether that transfer will happen or the club will turn to other options.
Also on his way to Zagreb is Russian defensive midfielder Kiril Kravtsov, whose contract with Sochi expired on June 30. The former Zenit St. Petersburg player is expected to provide rotation for Josip Mišić, but his arrival has been complicated by visa issues. If he passes the medical, he is expected to sign a four-year contract. Alongside him, 18-year-old Ghanaian Fuzy Taylor from Ghanaian champions Medeama SC will also arrive and initially play for the B team.
While new signings are being finalized, Dinamo has achieved great success on the pitch. With a victory over Benfica on August 8, the Blues topped Group A and secured a place in the Ramljak26 final against Ajax. "Tomorrow we face a historic moment: the final on the main pitch at Maksimir, for the last time before the stadium is demolished," the club's statement on Twitter reads. The match is on Sunday at 6:30 PM, with free entry for all fans. Only the West lower stand will be open, starting at 5:30 PM, and the broadcast is exclusively on the Dinamo Plus platform.
