Nathanael Mbuku, despite being officially a player of Dinamo, was involved in a strategic move that allowed Augsburg to circumvent loan restrictions. Dinamo agreed to purchase him for a nominal fee with the option to return him to Germany or make a full purchase at €1.4 million, although this seems unlikely. According to reports, Nathanael Mbuku is set to return to Augsburg in the Bundesliga. Although he is formally a player for Dinamo, this was merely a maneuver. Since Augsburg could no longer loan players, it was arranged for Dinamo to buy him for a small amount, with the option to send him back to Germany or fully purchase him for €1.4 million. It is doubted that he has impressed the staff at Maksimir enough to justify such a payment.
