Dinamo Zagreb showed interest in signing Marcelo Ryan, a 22-year-old Brazilian playing for Sagan Tosu in Japan. Currently, Ryan is on loan at Tokyo, where he scored seven goals in 16 appearances this season. However, the Japanese club demanded over 10 million euros for Ryan, which was too high for Dinamo Zagreb. Despite the challenges in acquiring quality strikers, Dinamo Zagreb was unwilling to meet the high asking price, leading them to focus on other potential targets.
