Venezuelan Defender’s Move to Ukraine Falls Through After Two Clubs Back Out.

Negotiations for Roman Devís Break Down

According to Novyny.live: Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv have decided against signing Venezuelan defender Roman Devís, citing disagreements over the terms of the deal. Devís initially spent over a week on trial with Dynamo, impressing during that time by scoring two goals and providing three assists across three friendly matches. Despite his performance, talks between Dynamo and Devís’s representatives collapsed due to conflicting views on the transfer structure.

Dynamo put forward a one-year loan proposal, but the Venezuelan camp insisted on a permanent transfer. After Dynamo walked away from the negotiations, Devís was offered to another Ukrainian side, Polissya Zhytomyr, yet that club also declined to move forward with the signing.

Where Does the Player Stand Now?

There are currently six Venezuelan footballers playing in Ukraine, but Roman Devís’s future remains uncertain after two separate attempts to secure a deal with Ukrainian clubs fell through.

This episode highlights the often tricky nature of football transfer negotiations, where mismatched priorities between clubs and players can derail potential agreements. For Dynamo, passing on Devís means they will likely continue searching for other reinforcements. For the player himself, the back-to-back rejections pose a significant hurdle as he looks for his next club. With competition heating up in Ukrainian football, transfer decisions are becoming increasingly critical for teams aiming to stay competitive in domestic and European competitions.
