According to insider Lorenzo Lepore, Dario Marešić has rejected an offer from the German second league. Marešić's contract expires in the summer.

Dario Marešić stated in the podcast 'Zeleno-žuti korner' that this is his last season at Istra 1961. After four years, he wants to leave in June and return to a higher level of football. The club offered Dario Marešić a contract in the highest salary bracket among the Istra 1961 squad, but he did not accept it because he wants a change. It is unlikely that a transfer will happen in January, as interested parties would not pay a transfer fee for a player they can sign for free in June. It is expected that Marešić will captain Istra until the end of the season.

Germanijak reports that the potential departure of Marešić is considered very likely.

Dario Marešić is in his final season with Istra 1961, and there is a strong impression that he wants to leave. There are potential last-minute transfer options in countries like Turkey, Netherlands, or Portugal, where the transfer window is still open. His transfer fee is significantly lower due to the contract length.
