A scout from Bayern attended the match against Osijek at Poljud to observe 19-year-old Croatian Hajduk player Luka Hodak. Hodak, a versatile right-back, has attracted interest from several European clubs. The Polish side Rakow was an early interested party, and a scout from Feyenoord had previously watched him in Gorica. In reaction to the growing attention, Hajduk recently extended Hodak's contract until June 2029. The club considers him a key player for the future and is not considering his departure this season. In the current 25/26 SuperSport HNL season, Hodak has made 5 appearances, and he has not yet been capped for the Croatia U21 team.
