HNK Hajduk Split has missed out on a major signing after Bosnian international Dženis Burnić chose to move to Russia. Despite reports last week linking him with Hajduk, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder has opted for Russian club Rostov, which offered more concrete terms.
What happened?
Dženis Burnić was linked with Hajduk last week but ultimately chose Russia. According to Sportske.ba, the Russian club moved faster and offered better terms, sealing the deal. This transfer is particularly painful for Hajduk, as the club loses out on a key defensive reinforcement.
How does this affect Hajduk?
Hajduk currently sits 7th in the HNL with just 1 point from 2 matches (0 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). The team has scored 3 goals and conceded 4, leaving them with a negative goal difference. Burnić could have helped improve this situation, but now the club must find a replacement.
What’s next for Hajduk?
Hajduk still has time until the transfer window closes to find a replacement for Burnić. The team is preparing for a match against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb, currently 3rd in the HNL, scheduled for February 20, 2027. Hajduk will need to adapt without Burnić.
