Oleksandr Romanchuk, a 26-year-old Ukrainian defender for Universitatea Craiova, is being monitored by the Swiss club Basel, as well as the German clubs Werder and Mainz. Dynamo Kyiv made an offer for the player, which the Romanian club rejected. It is reported that the owner of Universitatea wants to keep the squad together until the end of their Champions League qualification campaign and has ruled out selling the player at this time. The contract for the Ukrainian international runs until June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.50m. In May 2026, Universitatea Craiova's asking price for the defender was reportedly between €2 million and €3 million. A month earlier, a similar fee was reportedly under discussion with Werder Bremen.
