Dynamo head Alexei Fedorychev told the Sport-Express newspaper that the Greek international had signed a five-year, 10 million euros ($12.65 million) deal with the Moscow club.
Dynamo signed Costinha and Maniche for a combined 20 million euros this month in addition to buying seven players from various Portuguese clubs, including Porto's Brazilian striker Derlei for 7.5 million euros in the close season.
Fedorychev, who has been compared to Chelsea's Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich for his lavish spending, has already splashed out $60 million on players since buying a majority stake in the police club last year.
He said he planned to pump another $100 million into the once mighty side in the next two years to make them a force in Russia and in Europe.
However, Dynamo have made a stuttering start to the season with four consecutive defeats costing coach Oleg Romantsev his job.
