Transfer Market Madness: Dinamo Rebuilds Squad, Roko Šimić Escapes English Third Tier!
Welcome to the craziest football transfer window currently underway! While the five biggest European leagues juggle deadlines and transfers, Dinamo Zagreb is shaking up its squad, and young Croatian striker Roko Šimić is desperately trying to escape the third-tier English football nightmare.
Dinamo Zagreb in Major Reconstruction Mode
Dinamo is not holding back! The club is on the hunt for new talent while letting go of some old players. Nathaniel Mbuku is on the way out, and Lovro Majer, who only played 11 matches last season due to injury, is now a target for Villarreal. Greg Taylor, the 27-year-old left-back from Celtic, who was Dinamo’s winter target, is now close to signing with PAOK, meaning Dinamo must look for new defensive options.
Roko Šimić: The Young Striker Who Refuses to Play in the Third Tier
Roko Šimić, the Croatian striker, clearly doesn’t want to settle for a role at Cardiff, currently playing in England’s third tier. Despite the club saying they count on him, Šimić wants out. Croatian clubs Rijeka and Osijek showed interest, but Cardiff rejected their loan offers with fees. The most realistic option is a move abroad, with several clubs in Germany’s 2. Bundesliga showing interest. If the transfer happens, it will likely be a one-year loan with an option to buy.

Why Is This Transfer Window Special?
Due to the FIFA Club World Cup, the transfer window in the five major leagues is split into two parts. The first ran from June 1 to July 1, and the second runs from June 16 to September 1. The Premier League even closed the window for five days before reopening it on June 16. Other leagues like Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1 open on July 1 and close on September 1. This has caused absolute chaos in the transfer market, with negotiations and rumors changing daily.
