According to Sportske Novosti, Borna Barišić has been named the new captain of Osijek following his signing with the team. It is expected that his presence and quality will bring leadership and cohesion to the squad.

Borna Barišić has returned to Osijek, according to Sportske Novosti. On Monday, the Slavonian club confirmed the transfer with a short video on social media that was accompanied by a 'bomb' emoji. Barišić joins Osijek as a free agent and without a transfer fee.

Sportske Novosti reports that Borna Barišić will return to Osijek and that only the official announcement has not yet happened. Both parties want an agreement, and the possibility for his return was created after Barišić terminated his contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor on September 1. Barišić has been recovering at Opus Arena after a serious cruciate ligament injury and has been in regular training with the team for several weeks. He is expected to soon officially become a member of the squad.

According to Sportske Novosti, Osijek is potentially signing Borna Barišić in the upcoming winter transfer window. The former captain and bronze medallist from Qatar is being considered as the first of five new players Osijek is seeking to sign. The move is anticipated to be a major addition to the team if it is realized.
