Dinamo and Juan Cordoba: A Transfer Drama Worth Two Million Euros!
Dinamo Zagreb is at the center of a transfer drama that looks like a real football soap opera! Colombian winger Juan Cordoba, who joined Dinamo last summer for 2.1 million euros from Deportivo Cali, is now on the verge of leaving, but the question is where he will end up.
Multiple Offers, No Final Decision Yet
French club Saint-Étienne, which was relegated from Ligue 1 last season, is reportedly the closest to completing the transfer. Dinamo has set a price around two million euros, and the French club is ready to pay. However, Cordoba has not yet decided where he will continue his career. Besides Saint-Étienne, he has several serious offers from other European leagues and even MLS.
From Promise to Disappointment
Cordoba arrived at Dinamo with high expectations but failed to meet them. He played only 17 matches last season, scoring two goals and providing three assists. He was a starter under coach Jakirović, but things went downhill when Nenad Bjelica took over as coach. Cordoba was even briefly suspended for being late to a meeting and failed to establish himself in the second half of the season.
Contract Until Summer 2025
Although he signed a contract with Dinamo until summer 2025, it is clear the club will try to sell him this summer. Dinamo wants to complete the transfer before the new season preparations begin, and the question remains whether Cordoba will accept Saint-Étienne’s offer or choose another option.
What Does This Mean for Dinamo?
Dinamo invested significant funds in Cordoba, but he turned out not to be the right fit for the team. Now the club must find a solution that satisfies all parties without losing too much money. The transfer saga around Cordoba shows how hard it is to predict a player’s success and how risky transfers can be.
Conclusion
Juan Cordoba is an example of a player who came with high hopes but failed to secure a place in the team. Now he stands at a crossroads with several offers and an uncertain future. Dinamo will have to decide quickly to avoid further complications.
