The 29-year-old joined the Moscow club as a free agent.
Balbuena is born in Ciudad del Este which is the second largest city in Paraguay. He played in South America until the age of 26. Fabián performed for Paraguayan sides Cerro Porteño de Presidente Franco, Rubio Ñú, Nacional Asunción and Libertad Asunción.

— I am happy to sign a contract with Dynamo and I am looking forward to start working with my new teammates and the coaching staff, — Balbuena said. — I chose Dynamo because I really liked the project of the club's development. In addition, Dynamo will celebrate the 100th anniversary soon — it's great to have a hand in such a history.
