Journalist Santi Candel reports that Matia Barzic will soon arrive in Mechelen. According to the report, Mechelen would pay just under €1.5 million, including bonuses, for his arrival, and Barzic would sign a contract in Mechelen until 2030. Barzic has played for Elche since 2023 and was loaned to Eldense and Cultural Leonesa over the past year and a half. A source on X reports that Barzic is signing a 4-year contract until 2030 with KV Mechelen.

El Elche has loaned central defender Matía Barzic to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, a newly promoted team to Segunda División, for the upcoming season. This is the second consecutive loan for the 21-year-old Croatian defender, who played the second half of the last season with Deportivo Eldense in Segunda División. Barzic has a contract with Elche until 2028.

CD Lugo, a team competing in the Spanish third division, is reportedly interested in Mattia Barzić.
