GNK Dinamo Zagreb has this week signed young Belarusian international Egor Molchan. The 18-year-old player arrived at Maksimir from Dinamo Minsk and put pen to paper on a multi-year contract.
The club currently sits second in the HNL with 13 points from five games, and its next fixture is an away match against NK Osijek. Molchan is a left-footed player who operates on the right wing or right midfield. For now, the plan is for him to get his first minutes in the new environment with the Dinamo B squad.
Egor Molchan is an 18-year-old footballer who has arrived in Croatia from Belarus. The player came through the youth academy of Dinamo Minsk and has already featured for the Belarus U-19 national team. In that setup, he scored three goals and provided two assists. His main characteristics are pace and technical ability with his left foot, although he naturally plays on the right side of the pitch.
Dinamo Zagreb has been active in the market for young talents recently, and this transfer aligns with that strategy.
The first step for Molchan will be adaptation within the club's second team. Dinamo B will provide him with the opportunity to get acquainted with the new working system and gain necessary playing time. This is the usual path for young players arriving at the club, and details on all players can be found on the squad page.
Given his age and profile, he is expected to be a project for the future. Dinamo Zagreb currently has a stable lineup that has scored 12 goals this season while conceding only three. This creates a good framework for the gradual development of young reinforcements without the pressure for immediate results.
The immediate focus for the first team is the away match against NK Osijek on September 12, 2026. This will be an important encounter between the second and fourth-placed teams in the league. The full schedule of upcoming matches is available on our fixtures page.
In the meantime, Egor Molchan will begin training with the second squad and work on his integration. His multi-year contract gives the club ample time for his development. The signing of this young international shows that Dinamo Zagreb is continuously working to strengthen its youth base and plan for the long term.
