Despite being heavily tipped for a summer departure from Hajduk Split, 21-year-old American midfielder Rokas Pukštas is set to remain with the club. His potential move was fueled by reported serious interest from teams in England and Italy, with Parma and Venezia among those mentioned. A formal bid for the young American was submitted by the Belgian club Gent, managed by Ivan Leko, but Hajduk Split considered the offer inadequate. Believing Pukštas's valuation to be significantly higher, the club has decided to keep him until at least the winter break, according to Dalmatinski portal. The player's current contract is valid until the summer of 2027, and Transfermarkt lists his market value at €5.00m.
