According to Vecernji List, Dejan Ljubičić has been transferred to Schalke. The 28-year-old Austrian midfielder was sold by Dinamo to the German second-division club. The transfer was agreed in an extremely short period of time, and Dinamo is set to receive one million euros as compensation. Ljubičić was a major target for Schalke's coach, Miron Muslić, who believes the player would be a perfect fit for his team. Another reason for the transfer was Ljubičić's dissatisfaction with how things were played at Dinamo and his unhappiness with the style of play.

A deal for 28-year-old Austrian defensive midfielder Dejan Ljubičić to move from Dinamo to Schalke 04 is nearly complete, with only final details remaining.

Ljubičić had a contract with Dinamo until June 2029 and, according to sources, had a high salary at Maksimir.
