FC Dynamo Kyiv have loaned Romania midfielder Florin Cernat to HNK Hajduk Split with young Croatian striker Tomislav Busić moving in the opposite direction.
Dream move
The 21-year-old Busić, who recently signed a three-year contract with Prva Liga runners-up Hajduk, said: "This transfer is a dream come true. Playing for a club who have missed out on the UEFA Champions League just once in the last ten years is a huge opportunity." The forward has scored 27 goals in 64 league games for Hajduk.
Split loyalties
As Ukrainian champions, Dynamo will enter the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. While Busić joins them for a season - subject to a medical - 27-year-old playmaker Cernat will spend the campaign in Split having been denied regular football in Kiev in recent years. In all, the former FC Dinamo 1948 Bucuresti man has made 126 Premier League appearances for Dynamo. Hajduk start their UEFA Cup challenge in the first qualifying round.
