Karpaty's 23-year-old Gambian forward, Baboucarr Faal, has drawn interest from foreign teams, with Viktoria Plzeň named among the clubs interested in the player. Media had previously reported on interest from Udinese. Faal rejected a potential move to Dynamo Kyiv because he wants to continue his career in one of the European championships. The centre-forward joined Karpaty in February 2026 from Rukh Vynnyky for a reported €500,000, and his current contract is valid until June 2028. According to reports from May 2026, his contract contains a €3,000,000 release clause. His Transfermarkt market value is listed as €700,000.
