Sportske Novosti reports on a potential loan for Fran Karačić, stating that Osijek is among the clubs that would like to sign him. A loan is a suitable option for Osijek as the club does not have money for new reinforcements. Karačić is motivated by a desire to earn a call-up for the World Cup. Hajduk will seek compensation for the move, having previously paid Lokomotiva 200,000 euros for the player.

Fran Karačić, a 29-year-old Australian international, is nearing a loan move to Osijek until the end of the season. Karačić moved to Hajduk from Lokomotiva last summer but was replaced in the starting lineup, and his playing time diminished significantly. He has 15 caps for Australia and a contract with Hajduk until June 2028.
