On 12 August 2022, Kartsev agreed on a transfer with Russian Premier League club Dynamo Moscow, on loan with an option to buy.[5] On 23 August 2022, the deal between Dynamo Moscow and Maccabi Netanya was cancelled due to the sanctions imposed on the Russian banks after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Dynamo Moscow payment did not reach Maccabi Netanya's account by the deadline specified in the contract, and then Kartsev returned to Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Netanya.[6]

On 30 January 2023, Kartsev signed a 4.5 year contract worth €2,250,000 with Süper Lig club İstanbul Başakşehir after the Turkish side agreed to pay Maccabi Netanya the €2,300,000 transfer fee (highest transfer fee in the history of Netanya).[7]
