Hajduk is looking to acquire Dario Marešić as a replacement for Dominik Prpić, who has transferred to Porto. Marešić is regarded as one of the top defenders in the league and has previously collaborated with Hajduk's coach, Gonzalo Garcia, during their time at Istra. The club has reportedly offered Marešić a multi-year contract with a salary of 400,000 euros. The transfer might be made easier by a release clause set at 200,000 euros, which Hajduk considers affordable. Marešić has previously shown his support for Hajduk, and the club is eager to secure him as a vital addition to their defense. Although other clubs, including Udinese, have shown interest, Hajduk is seen as a strong contender due to the existing relationship between Marešić and Garcia. Marešić's current contract with Istra extends until 2026, which means the release clause is a key factor in the transfer talks. With Hajduk's season about to start, the club is keen to complete the transfer to bolster their defense, particularly as they will be without their defensive leader, Uremović, for the opening match.
