Astrit Selmani (27 years old) is set to end his contract with Dinamo this summer, marking the end of an era for the talented striker at the Bucharest-based club. He has already informed the club’s officials that he will not extend his stay with Kopic’s team, bringing an end to his year and a half-long adventure in Romania’s SuperLiga. According to digisport.ro, the current top scorer for Dinamo this season has made it clear that he is looking for a monthly salary of 25,000 euros, an amount that surpasses the current financial capabilities of the Romanian club.
Polish Media Reports Interest from Rakow Czestochowa
Selmani’s future now seems to lie elsewhere, as reports from Poland confirm that Rakow Czestochowa, the current leader of the Polish Ekstraklasa, is keen on signing the player. The Polish outlet meczyki.pl notes that Rakow is in negotiations with Selmani over a potential move, signaling the club’s interest in securing the striker’s services.
However, Rakow may not be the only team pursuing the 27-year-old forward. According to Swedish media, Selmani is attracting interest from clubs in Switzerland and even in the second tier of German football. This widespread attention reflects the striker’s strong performances throughout the season, positioning him as one of the most sought-after players in Eastern Europe.
A Stellar Season in Romania
This season, Selmani has been instrumental for Dinamo, contributing with 13 goals and 6 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. His consistency and ability to deliver on the pitch have made him a standout player for the club. Despite his individual success, his decision to leave Dinamo appears to be driven by a desire to explore new challenges and take his career to the next level.
Born in Sweden, Selmani has had an international career with notable stints at clubs such as Hammarby, Midtjylland, Beer Sheva, and IFK Goteborg, making him a seasoned player on the European football scene. His statement about wanting to try something new resonates with his desire to experience new challenges in his career. “In Romania, it doesn’t matter; no one outside of Dinamo can convince me. I want to have the opportunity to try something new. I’m already 28 years old, so it’s a good time for a new experience. I want to play on the big stages, but I don’t know what offers my agents will have in a month when the season ends,” Selmani recently stated in an interview with eAD, the rights holder for SuperLiga.
Selmani’s Desire to Return to Dinamo in the Future
Even though Selmani is on the verge of leaving Dinamo, he has expressed a deep connection to the club and its passionate fanbase. He remains open to the possibility of returning to the club in the future, whether as an active player or even in an executive role.
“Dinamo cannot offer me more, and it’s not about money. I tell everyone that it’s not about money. I want to return to Dinamo at some point. I’ve made it clear to everyone, so they know this. I’m not hiding anything,” Selmani explained. His commitment to the club goes beyond financial incentives. “I had offers from other clubs in Romania, but I turned them all down. I didn’t even listen to them. So, it’s not about money, it’s about my desire to take another step. I don’t know if it will be in Europe or elsewhere, as I haven’t discussed this with my agent.”
Selmani’s deep affection for Dinamo and its supporters is evident in his words. “But I love Dinamo, not just the club but also the fans. All of this offers you more than money can. The way people have taken care of me, of my family,” he said, emphasizing the emotional bond he shares with the club and its faithful supporters. This heartfelt connection adds a personal layer to his departure, revealing that while his playing career at Dinamo may be ending, his ties to the club and its fans will always remain strong.
What’s Next for Selmani?
As Selmani looks towards the next chapter in his career, the future remains uncertain. His desire to compete at the highest levels of European football seems to be a driving force in his decision to seek a move abroad. While Rakow Czestochowa remains the most prominent suitor for his signature, the interest from other clubs in Switzerland and Germany suggests that Selmani could have multiple options on the table when the summer transfer window opens.
For Dinamo, this marks a significant turning point. The club will need to replace their star striker, whose departure will undoubtedly leave a gap in the team’s offensive line. Selmani’s goals and assists have been crucial in Dinamo’s performances this season, and his departure will require careful planning and strategy to ensure the club maintains its competitive edge in the future.
While Selmani is focused on his next move, his legacy at Dinamo will not be forgotten. His time in the SuperLiga has been marked by consistent performances, leadership, and a deep connection to the club’s passionate supporters. Whether he returns to Dinamo in the future or moves on to new challenges, Selmani’s impact on Romanian football will remain significant.
As the season winds down and the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Astrit Selmani and the next steps in his promising career. Will he make the move to Poland, Switzerland, or Germany, or will he decide to stay in the Romanian top flight and seek new opportunities with another club? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: Selmani’s future is bright, and his departure from Dinamo is the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his career.
