Hull City has been mentioned as a potential destination for Ivan Bašić, a 24-year-old midfielder from Bosnia-Herzegovina who may leave his current club, Astana, in January. The coach of the English club, Sergej Jakirović, knows Bašić from their time working together at Zrinjski. This connection has led to increased media speculation about a transfer for the player, who is valued at 1.5 million euros. However, Hull City faces competition from Italian Serie A club Udinese, which had also shown interest in the player during the summer.
According to the Italian portal TuttoUdinese, the topic of Udinese's interest is current again. There has been no official confirmation that the club has submitted an offer to Astana or that negotiations have commenced. More details about Bašić's future are expected during the January transfer window. His contract with Astana expires on December 31, 2026. Bašić has 24 caps and one goal for the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team. For the 2025/2026 season, he has made 20 appearances in the Premier Liga, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists.
