Squad27 Mar 2028

A falling-out at Dinamo Zagreb

Samy Mmaee and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Nikolas Šimić wants to come home

“I did not go to NK Varazdin to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dinamo Zagreb and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Mate Vukas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mate Vukas and Dinamo Zagreb agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Mateo Lisica gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mateo Lisica is on it.

Market27 Mar 2028

The Mohamed Abo Fani talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Dinamo Zagreb know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch27 Mar 2028

Patrik Horvat keeps scoring at Uljanik Pula

24 appearances away from home and 6 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Mate Vukas

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mate Vukas, and the manager let it.

Loan watch27 Mar 2028

The goals keep arriving from Luka Stojković’s exile

5 goals in 22 games at ZTE — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Dinamo Zagreb updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Loan watch27 Mar 2028

Juan José Córdoba first choice at Paksi

29 starts and a season average of 6.85. The loan is doing exactly what it was arranged to do.

Match14 Feb 2028

Dinamo Zagreb are top

46 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Market14 Feb 2028

Paul Bismarck Tabinas is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dinamo Zagreb is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

A falling-out at Dinamo Zagreb

Mohamed Abo Fani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

One of our own: Mate Vukas joins the Dinamo Zagreb first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mate Vukas is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market14 Feb 2028

Dinamo Zagreb promote Bruno Modric from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Modric has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market14 Feb 2028

Dario Tadic steps up from the Dinamo Zagreb academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dario Tadic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Tai Žnuderl wants to come home

“I did not go to Bukhara to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dinamo Zagreb and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 23 matches say the rest.

Loan watch14 Feb 2028

The goals keep arriving from Anton Matković’s exile

10 goals in 21 games at Hartberg — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Dinamo Zagreb updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Dion Beljo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Dion Beljo is on it.
