Dinamo’s Crazy Offensive: Beljo and Mierez Close to Maksimir!
The football transfer window is in full swing, and Dinamo Zagreb is not sitting still! While the five major European leagues battle for their transfers, Dinamo is in full offensive mode, aiming to bring in not one, but TWO strikers who could change the club’s game.
The Drama Around Beljo and Mierez
Dinamo’s first choice was young striker Dion Drena Beljo from Augsburg. However, the German club was not ready to let him go easily. They demanded a whopping 8 million euros, which was too much for Dinamo. The initial offer of 3.5 million euros was rejected with a smirk, and it seemed Dinamo would have to give up on Beljo.
But Dinamo doesn’t give up easily! Beljo wanted to come to Zagreb, even though he had financially better offers. After negotiations and the start of Augsburg’s preparations, things started moving. Dinamo managed to agree on a transfer for about 4 million euros plus percentages of future transfers, and Beljo is close to signing a contract.
Meanwhile, Dinamo also turned to Ramon Mierez, an Argentine striker who recently posted a farewell message to his former club Al Jazira. Although Mierez had an annual net salary of as much as 1.8 million euros and various bonuses, Dinamo found a way to financially handle his arrival, with the help of negotiations and a salary cap set by sporting director Zvonimir Boban.
What Does This Duo Bring?
The arrival of Beljo and Mierez could completely change Dinamo’s attacking line. Although Beljo prefers to be a center forward rather than a withdrawn striker, coach Mario Kovačević might have to adjust the playing system to utilize the potential of these two. With Sandro Kulenović injured, the need for new strikers is greater than ever.
Dinamo Is Not Stopping at Strikers
Besides looking for strikers, Dinamo is also interested in midfielder Miha Zajc from Fenerbahçe, as well as a defender from Turkey, whose name is still kept secret. It is clear that Dinamo wants to strengthen the squad on all fronts.
Transfers That Will Shake the Region
This transfer window also brings other big transfers in the region. Hajduk is negotiating the sale of Niko Sigur, and Dejan Ljubičić has signed for Porto. Also, Malik Tillman will become a Bayer Leverkusen player, and Stefan Ristovski is a new player for Sarajevo.
Conclusion
Dinamo is in full offensive mode and is not afraid to invest. Bringing in Beljo and Mierez shows the club’s ambition to return to the top of Croatian and regional football. Will these two live up to expectations? Will the coach manage to fit their playing styles? All eyes are on Maksimir this summer.
