Coach Riera has sidelined Danijel Djurica, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder, because the player does not meet his expectations. A loan option is likely being sought for the Icelander. He joined NK Istra 1961 in February 2025 and has a contract until June 2028. The Iceland international has 3 caps for his country. In the current SuperSport HNL season, he has made 9 appearances and provided 1 assist. His current Transfermarkt market value is €250k.
