Garcia Prepares Hajduk for Toughest Matches in Season

HNK Hajduk Split will bring three new players in the next few days, according to Index. On Poljud, they are working on bringing in a stopper, midfielder and winger, and the first one to arrive will be a stopper. His job could be done very quickly. The Dalmatian portal reported today that Hajduk is in talks with Dennis Hadžikadunić (28), the representative stopper of Bosnia and Herzegovina who is currently a free player. According to our information, it is very likely that Hadžikadunić is the stopper whose arrival is expected first.

Who is Dennis Hadžikadunić?

Dennis Hadžikadunić is a 191-centimeter-tall stopper born in Malmö, who has played for the Swedish youth national teams and has been playing for Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2020. For the past eight years, he has been a player for Russian Rostov, but has spent most of that time on loan. He has played for Malmö, Mallorca, HSV and Sampdoria, where he spent last season. His contract with Rostov expired at the end of June, so Hajduk can bring him in without paying a transfer fee.

Working on Sigur's departure

Parallel to the arrivals, Hajduk is also working on possible outgoing transfers. One of the players who has a concrete interest is Niko Sigur, who has been seriously interested by Celtic in recent days. The Scottish club should intensify talks about his possible arrival, so Hajduk could conclude several incoming and outgoing deals in the transfer window.

HNK Hajduk Split is currently in 7th place in the HNL, with 1 point, 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from 2 games. In the season, they have scored 3 goals and conceded 4, making them 5 points behind the leader NK Osijek. In the next round, they will play against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb away.

What's next?

Garcia will need to give his new players enough time to prepare for the toughest matches of the season. Hajduk will have to be ready for any situation, in order to fight for a place in the Conference League play-off.
