Salzburg expressed an interest in acquiring Lovre Kulušić, but he ultimately decided to sign with Dinamo. Kulušić noted that Dinamo's vision and future plans, particularly their emphasis on strengthening the team with younger players, were significant factors in his decision to join them. Despite receiving interest from other clubs, including Atalanta, Sparta Prague, Werder, and Rijeka, Kulušić was persuaded by conversations with coach Kovačević, Zvonimir Boban, and the sports director, who assured him of his role in both the club's current and future plans. Kulušić, who looks forward to remaining in the familiar setting of the Croatian league, also expressed his disappointment over the relegation of his former club, Šibenik, to a lower league.
