Dinamo Zagreb has made headlines recently for its gesture of solidarity, offering help to their rivals Hajduk Split after a severe storm caused significant damage to Poljud Stadium. Dinamo issued an official statement expressing regret over the damage and stated their readiness to support Hajduk in any way needed. This act of sportsmanship was widely appreciated by fans and commentators, showcasing unity during a crisis[1].
On the transfer front, Dinamo Zagreb has been active throughout 2025. Notable arrivals include Leon Belcar on loan from NK Varazdin, Wilfried Kanga from Hertha Berlin, and Bartol Franjic on loan from Wolfsburg. Other additions are Gabriel Vidovic from Bayern Munich and Raul Torrente on a free transfer from Granada. Key departures include Bruno Petkovic and Marko Pjaca, both moving on at the end of their contracts[4][6][8].
In transfer market developments, Dinamo Zagreb and Benfica have reportedly attempted to hijack VfB Stuttgart’s planned signing of Nürnberg midfielder Caspar Jander. Despite the interest, Jander is set on joining Stuttgart, with ongoing negotiations over the transfer fee between Stuttgart and Nürnberg[5][7].
Additionally, Inter Milan and Juventus are both monitoring Dinamo Zagreb’s 17-year-old defender Leon Jakirovic, who is valued at approximately €8–10 million. Jakirovic could be promoted to Dinamo’s first team next season and is under contract until June 2028[3].
