Hajduk Split have opened talks to sign Dennis Hadžikadunić, a 28-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international centre-back who is a free agent after his contract with Rostov expired at the end of June. Negotiations are ongoing. The club is looking to strengthen its defence. It is reported that the club believes there is a realistic chance of reaching an agreement and is eager to complete the deal quickly ahead of a potential Conference League play-off. Multiple sources confirm that contact has been established and negotiations are in progress for the defender. He has 33 caps for his country and experience playing in several European leagues. If a deal is concluded, Hajduk would acquire Hadžikadunić without a transfer fee. His current Transfermarkt market value is €1.20m.
