Istra 1961 has shown interest in taking Niko Šepić on loan from Dinamo Zagreb as part of a package deal alongside Moris Valinčić. Although Šepić was not initially included in this deal, there remains a possibility for the transfer to occur. This potential loan move for Šepić arises as Dinamo Zagreb evaluates various options for their young players, following the club's decision to temporarily halt their B team project. With interest from clubs both within the HNL and internationally, Istra 1961's focus on Šepić, along with Nou Mikić, underscores Dinamo's strategy to loan out players so they can gain experience in competitive leagues. While Šepić was not initially part of the agreement involving Valinčić, discussions are still ongoing, and he could potentially join Istra 1961, with Slaven Belupo also being noted as another interested club.
