According to Index.hr, the winter loan of Mihael Žaper to the Slovenian club Kalcer Radomlje was described as a turning point in his career. This description was attributed to the loan providing him with continuity of appearances and helping him overcome the psychological barrier following his injuries. He played a total of 16 matches for Radomlje in the Slovenian league and cup, starting in 14 of them. In those matches, he accumulated 1330 minutes, scored one goal, and provided one assist.

According to Index.hr, a final decision has not yet been made regarding whether Mihael Žaper will remain with Hajduk for the upcoming season or if other options will be considered for him. The club's view is that a final decision should be deferred until the coaching staff can observe him during preparations and evaluate his condition, following a prolonged period affected by injuries and loans. His situation requires a resolution this summer due to his injury history, a significant time without playing, and Hajduk's objective to lower first-team wage expenses. The outcome is contingent on his performance during the preparations.

Mihael Žaper, a 27-year-old Croatian defensive midfielder, is on loan at NK Radomlje from Hajduk until June. A decision regarding the potential release or sale of more than 10 players, which may include Žaper, is to be made by the new sporting director Robert Graf by the season's end. His contract with HNK Hajduk Split is valid until May 2028. The former Croatia U21 international has eight caps and has made 10 appearances in the Prva Liga this season, with one goal and one assist. His current valuation is €700k, according to Transfermarkt.
