Il prigioniero Hajduk è sul radar dell'Arsenal e del Chelsea!

Osijek is facing potential losses on its left flank with two players nearing departure. Roko Jurišić, a 24-year-old left-back, is close to signing with Greek club Aris, with final details yet to be formally announced. The club could receive around 200,000 euros in compensation for his exit. Jurišić has been in the last year of his contract and has expressed interest in moving abroad. Meanwhile, 23-year-old defender Emin Hasić is also set to leave, with a termination agreement reportedly prepared for him. This would leave Osijek without a solution on their left side for now. Slaven Belupo officially introduced its new addition, offensive midfielder Lovre Lončar, who signed a two-year contract with an option for another season. Lončar comes from Hajduk Split, having trained in the academy since he was 12 years old. Last season, he played on loan at Uskok in Klisa, scoring 10 goals in over 20 appearances. The young winger, who can play on either wing, was also a representative of Croatia in youth teams. In the Premier League, Anthony Gordon arrived from Newcastle United for £80 million, marking the first major signing of the summer. Following this, Barcelona confirmed the arrival of another quality forward, Karim Adeyemi, from Borussia Dortmund. Club president Joan Laporta confirmed the transfer will be completed tomorrow, after which the player will be officially presented. The deal is valued at around €30 million, and a medical was conducted last week. Adeyemi joined Borussia Dortmund in 2022 after progressing through Bayern’s youth system. His performances at RB Salzburg helped secure his place in Bundesliga. Adeyemi, who holds German citizenship, has a unique genetic mix, his father is Nigerian, and his mother is Romanian. His strongest position is on the right wing, though he can also play on the left or in central attacking roles. He has drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi due to his playing style and technical ability. However, the transfer of Swedish winger Emmanuel Ekong to Hajduk Split did not proceed as planned. Although Ekong had been linked with a loan move from Malmö, the deal was halted after he failed a medical. Instead, he returned to his parent club. Ekong, known in Croatian football circles for his time in Istria, scored three goals and recorded three assists in 22 matches. Despite being unhappy with his situation at Malmö, he will need to find a new opportunity elsewhere. The situation surrounding Ekong highlights the unpredictability of transfer windows. What initially seemed like a promising move for Hajduk ended in disappointment, leaving fans and analysts questioning the club's strategy in acquiring new talent. While Ekong's failure to complete his transfer is a setback, it underscores the challenges clubs face in securing players under tight deadlines and stringent medical requirements. Meanwhile, other transfers are also in motion. Tottenham and Napoli are reportedly considering swapping goalkeepers. Napoli aims to bring in Guglielmo Vicari, while Serbian international Vanja Milinković-Savić might move in the opposite direction. With Massimiliano Allegri taking charge at Napoli, plans for the goalkeeper position have shifted, casting doubt on Milinković-Savić’s future. Discussions between the clubs are still in early stages, but a swap of goalkeepers is one of the options being seriously considered.
