French media have linked Dynamo's central defender, Taras Mykhavko, with Marseille. A transfer for the 20-year-old Ukrainian this summer appears unlikely, according to TopMercato. The deal is financially challenging for the French club because Dynamo wants a minimum of 25 million euros. Additionally, Marseille may lose two right-footed central defenders this summer, and Mykhavko is left-footed. It is unlikely the club's management will spend that amount on another left-footed player, which also makes a transfer for the Ukrainian next season seem unlikely.

Marseille plans to reinforce their defense and has targeted the Dynamo defender Taras Mykhavko. The transfer fee is estimated at 25 million euros, and the French club is prepared to spend this amount. His signing is viewed as an investment in the future and a way to immediately reinforce Marseille's defensive line.

Marseille has not lost interest in Taras Mykhavko, a Ukrainian centre-back at Dynamo Kyiv, for whom the French club had previously offered €15 million. The 20-year-old player may change clubs in the summer, and there will be significant competition for him. Other interested parties reportedly include English Premier League clubs, such as Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as teams from Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, and Germany's Bundesliga. Mykhavko has one cap for Ukraine, joined Dynamo Kyiv in January 2024, and is under contract until the end of 2030. In the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he has made 18 appearances and scored 2 goals. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €8.00m. It was reported in August 2025 that Dynamo Kyiv rejected Marseille's €15 million offer and countered with a demand for €25 million. Reports from October 2025 claimed Porto was willing to pay €20 million for the defender.
