Cruel end for HNK Vukovar 1991 as Dinamo Zagreb pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Dinamo Zagreb scored in the 95th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Dinamo Zagreb say no — this time

The offer from HNK Rijeka for Josip Mišić was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Noa Mikić turns Dugopolje down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Charlotte Football Club tell Dinamo Zagreb: Morrison Agyemang is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Raúl Torrente moves on

HNK Rijeka pay $2.5M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Too dear: Dinamo Zagreb walk away from Ante Matej Jurić

$1.2M was the most the club would pay and HNK Rijeka were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Tempers go at Dinamo Zagreb

Mislav Oršić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Scott McKenna falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Dinamo Zagreb sell Sven Šunta for $73.0K

Sven Šunta has left for HNK Rijeka in a $73.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match8 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka let it slip despite Samuele Vignato

Samuele Vignato had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and NK Osijek were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Justas Lasickas

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market10 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka turn down Dinamo Zagreb for Toni Fruk

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Samuele Vignato's — 9.05

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.05, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

HNK Rijeka rebuffed over Vedran Petkov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zadar have kept their man, and HNK Rijeka go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fran Brodić arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Fran Brodić has, at HNK Rijeka, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Paolo Rizzi will not be coming to HNK Rijeka

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Mattersburg is saying, and nobody at HNK Rijeka is enjoying the guessing.

Tiago Dantas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tiago Dantas commits to HNK Rijeka for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at HNK Rijeka

Toni Fruk and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
