Denis Popov, a 26-year-old center-back from Dynamo, is reportedly being closely watched by Turkish club Trabzonspor, which already includes his compatriots Arseniy Batagov, Danylo Sikan, and Oleksandr Zubkov in its squad. Previously on Trabzonspor's transfer radar during the winter, the decision was made to defer discussions about his transfer until the summer. The management of the Turkish club now plans to review all potential reinforcement options with head coach Fatih Tekke. Reports suggest that Popov is eager to leave Dynamo for a European club. His contract with Dynamo extends until the summer of 2026, and this season he has participated in 25 official matches, netting 2 goals.

Trabzonspor's technical staff has given a positive report on Popov, indicating interest for a potential transfer.

Trabzonspor has shown interest in acquiring Denis Popov, a 25-year-old defender from Dinamo Kiev. Popov, who has exclusively played for Dinamo Kiev throughout his professional career, recently extended his contract with the club for an additional year, set to expire at the end of the next season. Trabzonspor's objective is to incorporate a younger player with significant resale potential into their team. Initial discussions have commenced to evaluate the viability of the transfer, which will be contingent upon the transfer fee for Popov. Should the transfer go through, he would become the third Ukrainian player on Trabzonspor's roster, alongside Batagov and Danylo Sikan.

Trabzonspor is in negotiations to sign Denys Popov from Dinamo Kiev. The two clubs have been in talks for about 1.5 weeks regarding the transfer, with Popov having 1.5 years left on his contract with Dinamo Kiev.
