Konstantin Genich, a well-known Russian journalist and commentator, stated that Dynamo Moscow expressed interest in bringing back midfielder Arsen Zakharyan from Real Sociedad. Dynamo Moscow offered the Russian midfielder to join the team for the second part of the current season on loan. Despite being in a difficult situation and recovering from an injury, Zakharyan declined the offer to return to Dynamo Moscow.

Dmitry Gafin, chairman of the board of directors of Dynamo Moscow, stated that the topic of Arsen Zakharyan returning to Dynamo Moscow on loan was fabricated and is not currently on the agenda. However, he mentioned that Dynamo Moscow would always welcome Arsen back if circumstances changed. Zakharyan transferred to Real Sociedad from Dynamo Moscow in the summer of 2023 and has a contract with the Spanish club until the summer of 2029.

Marcel Licka, the head coach of Dynamo, commented on the situation of former Dynamo player Arsen Zakharyan at Real Sociedad. He mentioned that he is aware of Zakharyan's long-term injury in Spain and expressed openness to Zakharyan's return or loan to Dynamo. Licka stated, "I will never refuse a player like Arsen."
