Who’s staying put this summer and who is going to move to a bigger club? All four players need the move desperately to reach the next level of their career. Here are the rumors you should know about:
Celtic are interested in 25 year-old right-back Josip Juranović. The Scottish giants are preparing a €3M bid. Juranović, a former Hajduk Split star, can thank Dinamo Zagreb for beating his current side Legia Warsaw in Champions League qualifiers, as the Polish side will now probably need to sell him to raise funds. Due to a lack of prospects in the right-back position, Juranović may be Croatia’s first option at the position for years to come. Sky Sports has confirmed these rumors.
Duje Ćaleta-Car could be a West Ham player very soon. West Ham, set to play European football this season, have made a €17M offer for the center-back. The 24 year-old seems to be destined for a move to the Premier League, as he has been linked to Liverpool, West Ham, and Tottenham for the past 12 months. Ćaleta-Car’s strength and aerial ability would make him a very strong player in England’s top flight.
Atletico Madrid’s second string goalkeeper, Ivo Grbić, is one step away from joining French champions LOSC Lille. Since the departure of Mike Maignan, Lille have been on the hunt for a new #1. Grbić has already agreed to join the club, and is projected to be their new starter. If Atletico Madrid approve the transfer, Grbić will make the €3.5M move.
AC Milan are still bidding €30-35M for Nikola Vlašić, as well as selling role players to raise funds for the attacking midfielder. It is clear that Vlašić is a huge target for the Italian giants and is ready for a move out of Russia.
stanisic starting for bayern today. so far his tackle saved a goal.
Seems Stanisic indeed had that heart-to-heart with Striko Sucic….

He played his hand well.
He used the Germans to ensure he has good standing at Bayern and their development program, then turned heel on them when he was finally promoted to the Bayern first team and gained enough exposure and development from them to play for whichever National Team he wants.
definitely. As Vito Corleone told Sonny, “Never let anyone outside of the family know what you’re thinking”
Classic heel turn! 🙂
Yup.
He learned from the mistake of Fabian Benko, who was a German U17 player and decided to switch to play for Croatia’s U17 team (and never got a chance to play for Bayern’s senior squad).
They eventually tossed him and his career and development stagnated.
There’s a full village of Stanisic’s by Zadar. We will be fine.
Bravo Rijeka! Great job.
I also tried to watch Osijek. OMG. They’re were shit. No football to be seen in the entire game.
I know he has to work with bad players at Osijek. But if this is the best Bjelica can do with that team, then I have my questions about him as coach of our national team.
they were
Europski Rijeka
Luka sucic uncle needs to talk to stanisic. He’s a RB
How bad do we need a quality replacement for vrsaljko
This could really bolster things for us
Josip stanisic, ya that sounds very Deutsch.
Anyone notice the new Chelsea kits? The left half of the shirt looks like our older blue “small checkers” kit.
It’s hard cause everything with a checker looks cro
But, got to love how really pretty much now Croats truly own checkers
Just gotta hope that the Czech province of Moravia never gets independence.
They are all checkers too lol.
Antonio colak with two against the rangers in cl qualifying
We need someone to randomly come from the abyss and start scoring for us
Not that I would think it would be him but still
I thought ya that stanisic kid was gone to Germany
Sign him up
Sosa as well
I know it’s not popular opinion but I still say cap sosa
Told everyone Colak should be called in. He is stepping up and could bring Malmo to champions league. He’s really impressed me. Sosa might have to wait a a bit.
Thing with Čolak is he’s inconsistently inconsistent… if that makes sense. One spell at a club he’ll have 0 goals and 1 assist in 15 games but the next club he’ll bang in 12 in the same number of games. You just never know with him. I say give him a shot because who else do we really even have there right now… but if he stinks up the first few games you know he’s done for.
Yea, this is where Dalic and his merry men of misfits (Corluka, Olic) need to earn their salaries.
If Colak is popping goals at Rijeka and Malmo, but was unable to score a single goal at PAOK…then it is up to them to watch all of his games the past three years (yes, ALL of them) to confirm what the difference was.
This is what they should have been doing with Krama at Hoffenheim too, and not just blame the player with an oversimplistic reason of “well he just doesn’t score for the national team like he does with his club”, and that’s that.
I doubt Dalic, Corluka and Olic have watched anything more than ONE game of Antonio Colak combined.
I don’t even think any of them watched even a handful of Kramaric games at Hoffenheim. Maybe Dalic watched a game or two in person (when he went to visit Germany) but I highly highly doubt these guys are requesting video of all the games and sitting there watching and analyzing them.
This is obvious with the way these players have been simply “plugged into” our existing lineups and formation.
People want Borna Sosa to be called up…but what happens when Borna sends in his quality crosses and there ISN’T a 6’6″ center forward waiting for it up top?
I’m sure Dalic will eventually call him up…then try to plug him in to a defensive role in our existing formation WITHOUT a target man up top. Meanwhile, Borna is less of a defensively capable player whose value is the offense created from his crosses. We’ll have the same issues as we had in the Euros with our players being plugged into a predetermined formation and style, regardless of their skillset.
This is why I respected Spain at the Euros.
They had Adama Traore on the bench, and they didn’t use him.
Why?
Because he did not fit the style that was working for Spain. They opted for Dani Olmo instead, and the kid delivered.
His technical ability fit their style better, despite the ‘higher market value’ player that Traore is (whose EPL run n’ gun style did not fit with Spain’s tika taka style at all, and would have fucked it up the same way Rebic fucked up our technical play during our final match).
Stanisic might go to Germany..hate to say it. I hope he commits to Croatia and doesn’t.t pull off a Sosa. Germany has aging defence and lots of centre backs. We need him more than ever.
Don’t worry.
I have faith in Dalic, Olic and Corluka to have the foresight and call him up as soon as possible…
LOL.
How much do you guys wanna bet that Corluka and Olic have no idea who Stanisic is?
They don’t know anything. Just wanna continue to overplay the vets
Gavranovic is leaving dinamo. Sad to see him go.
Article from gol.hr confirms that Stanišić wants to play for Cro (according to his mama):
Stanišićeva majka se nedavno odlučila oglasiti nakon brojnih medijskih naslova o njegovoj budućnosti. Javila se na društvenim mrežama i potvrdila da on još nije izabrao reprezentaciju, ali da mu srce kuca samo za jedan dres i dodala zastavicu Hrvatske, pa je tako lako odgonetnuti na koji je mislila. Mladi Hrvat i na svom Instagram profilu ima istaknutu hrvatsku zastavu, ogromna želja postoji, ali sve je na Zlatku Daliću koji uskoro objavljuje popis za tri kvalifikacijske utakmice.
Hasn’t stanisic committed to Germany or am I mistaken ?
He played a couple games for their U19 team…but according to Transfermarkt, he is a dual citizen of both Croatia and Germany, so he still has the option of being able to play for either senior side.
If it’s true that he wanted to always play for Croatia, then this talk from him wanting playing for Germany was just so that he doesn’t have his club career ruined by the Germans at Bayern.
The German FA have shown their true colors as a sketchy and somewhat incompetently-run organization that has no problems lying to kids that could ruin their future careers (like they did to Sosa).
I’m sure Stanisic was pressured as a youth and if he flat out told them that his dream was to play for Croatia, he would have never gotten those games at Bayern, his career would have taken a step back, and we would not have ever heard of him.
Not sure if he’s repka material (I’ve only seen highlights) but he’s definitely worth keeping an eye on, if he can get some games in the Bundesliga.
Listen, if he’s cracking the Bayern XI every game then he’s repka material. He can play LB, RB and CB, all of which we are weak. Call him up and even if he’s a sub at worst, he can be inserted into any spot. That’s why Ivanusec was called up over Majer; he’s more versatile. Kid can play LW, RW and AM. Majer only AM and as an advanced CM.
Bayern have a german croat stanisic plays in all d position is a natural rb hope hns can persuade him to put on checkers.
Really looking foward to who dalic call in a few weeks do we forgive sosa and try some young new blood and build for 2022 or we go conervative route and still play players based on 2018 form hahah
Stanisic is turning out to be a pretty big talent. If you scroll on Bayern Twitter they ALL want him starting over guys like Sarr and Richards. Pretty great stuff, we really need HNS to jump on him.
He was strong armed by Bayern.
But I thought I read a while back that he left the door open for Croatia.
In order of importance:
1. Vlasic needs to go back to a top-4 league. He’s ready.
2. A DCC move to England is perfect. The physical play will only make him better for the national team. Any team will do.
3. Juranovic to Celtic is kind of a lateral move. Noticeable name but the Scottish league stinks.
4. Grbic needs to move anywhere. Then he has to lockdown the #1 spot. Then he absolutely needs to play out of his mind for an entire season if he’s going to make it to top-2 Croatia goalie. Not a priority at the moment.
Grbic is insanely talented, just needs the minutes. As for Juranovic’s case… I think it’s just to get some European football tbh. Legia won’t do it.
If Livakovic gets sold, then it’s important that Grbic gets a starting spot with LOSC Lille so we can be certain to have an in-form keeper.
I can see Livakovic ending up in a better league…and I can also see him having an adjustment period that could ruin his confidence and send him to the bench (it happened to Lovre).
Can’t have a confidence shattered keeper as our #1. We need to have multiple options.
Glad to hear Adrien Semper transferring to Genoa. Hopefully he’s their full time starter in Serie A. We need more options at GK.
What about the dinamo boys
Livakovic, petko, orsic, majer
Any of these guys gonna move??
Dinamo are going to be heavy favorites to beat Sheriff and qualify for CL. Would Dinamo dare have a fire sale now? Doesn’t make sense.
All these players will have 6 huge games to be seen which will only up their value. Dinamo’s really good at the winter market thing. Look at Gvardiol. Bought by Leipzig in winter but loaned back to Dinamo to finish the Europa campaign.
Dinamo will not have a fire sale now because the transfer window will still be open after this Sherriff tie. They can always have the fire sale after.
The prize money for qualification this year is too sweet at 19.1 million Euro, and Dinamo are definitely the favorites against Sherriff.
However, I can still see them cashing in on Majer (and maybe another player or so) before the CL games begin, if their valuation for that player is met.
Majer’s value probably won’t skyrocket much. He’s already 23 (turning 24 in January) and is largely replaceable on Dinamo.
Plus, they have already been receiving interest from teams. If that valuation is met, they’ll sell him.
I think Ivanusec’s value will skyrocket at the tournament. He’s the bigger talent and he’s already received some exposure from the Euros. They’ll hold onto him for a bit longer, and sell him after this season.
Nice win by Chelsea today, We know who we are “The Champions of Europe “
I prefer pre oil money Chelsea.
Winners of dick all for 50 years
I smell a Scouse or Gooner
