Inter Snatches Two Croatian Talents: Hajduk and Osijek Left Empty-Handed!
Ready for a transfer bombshell shaking Croatian football? AC Milan’s Inter has, in just a few days, secured deals for two top Croatian talents from the biggest domestic rivals – Hajduk and Osijek! Yes, you read that right. While Hajduk and Osijek scramble to keep their gems, Inter showed how it’s done – fast, ruthless, and efficient.
Duje Slatina – Milan’s new right-back?
Duje Slatina, the 16-year-old captain of Hajduk’s cadet team and one of Croatia’s most promising right-backs, rejected his home club’s offer and decided to continue his career at Inter. This young Croatian international, who played 28 matches and scored 5 goals last season for Hajduk, is now on the brink of big European football. Hajduk will only receive a training compensation fee, a drop in the ocean compared to Slatina’s potential.
Sergej Levak – another Croatian heading to Inter!
But wait, there’s more! Inter is also seriously interested in Sergej Levak, a 19-year-old midfielder who shone at Roma and is now a free agent. Levak played 34 matches, scored 7 goals, and assisted 4 times for Roma, and could join Inter’s U23 squad. Inter plans to bring in as many as three Croatians in one transfer window – a full-on talent invasion from Croatia.
What does this mean for Croatian football?
While domestic clubs like Hajduk and Osijek try to hold on to their best players, European giants like Inter waste no time. They hunt talents while they’re young, offer fast development and big contracts, leaving local clubs with empty hands and mere symbolic fees. This is a clear sign Croatian clubs must seriously step up their game to keep their talents and prepare to fight the big European clubs.
Conclusion: Who’s next?
Inter showed how it’s done – fast and efficient. Hajduk and Osijek have been warned: if they don’t change their approach, the next gems will end up in Italy, Germany, or England, while local clubs watch helplessly.
