Rijeka has activated a clause in Dejan Petrović's contract, ensuring he will remain with the Croatian champions for the next season. Petrovič has been an important player for Rijeka this season, contributing significantly to their second title in history and earning a call-up to the Slovenian national team by Matjaž Kek.

Dejan Petrovič, who has returned to the Slovenian national team, is performing well for Rijeka this season. Due to his past injuries, Rijeka is planning to negotiate a contract extension to avoid losing him for free when his contract expires this summer.
