Lokomotiva Shocks: Signs Josip Posavec, Former Hajduk and Rijeka Goalkeeper, Plus Mario Šitum Returns!
Lokomotiva is not stopping with reinforcements! After confirming the arrival of Mario Šitum, the club announced that Josip Posavec is their new goalkeeper. Yes, you read that right – the keeper who played for Inter Zaprešić, Palermo, Hajduk, Rijeka, Danish Aalborg, and Slovenian Primorje is now a Lokomotiva player!
Posavec is a true veteran with rich experience from Croatia and abroad. He started his career at Inter Zaprešić, then transferred to Palermo where he played 30 matches in Serie A. He was a regular member of Croatia’s U21 national team. After returning to the Croatian league, he played for Hajduk, then spent two seasons in Danish Aalborg with 35 appearances. He spent the last half-season on loan in Slovenia and now has joined Lokomotiva.
But that’s not all! Lokomotiva also confirmed the return of Mario Šitum, who is coming back to the club after 11 years. Šitum was part of a great Lokomotiva generation that played the cup final against Hajduk. He has played for Dinamo, Reggina, Cosenza, Spezia, Lech, and spent the last three seasons at Italian second division club Catanzaro. Known for his speed, energy, and fighting spirit, he also has appearances for the Croatian national team.
These two signings are a real bombshell for Lokomotiva ahead of the new season. It’s clear the club wants to fight for the top spots and doesn’t plan to be just a league participant. Posavec and Šitum bring experience, quality, and extra energy to the team.
Why does this matter?
Lokomotiva is a club that often loses its best players to bigger clubs, but now it seems they decided to strengthen with experienced and quality players. Signing Posavec and bringing back Šitum sends a clear message: Lokomotiva wants to compete seriously.
What do the fans say?
Fans are divided – some are thrilled that the club is bringing in experienced players, while others doubt if it will be enough for a breakthrough. But one thing is certain – these two transfers will definitely boost the atmosphere and give new hope to the club.
