Roko Šimić has moved to Karlsruhe on loan from Cardiff City, with Karlsruhe holding an option to buy his contract. The announcement was made alongside a photograph of Šimić donning Karlsruhe's jersey. Šimić conveyed his enthusiasm for the new challenge and the opportunity to play in the 2. Bundesliga, noting that he had engaged in discussions with Director Mario Eggimann regarding his role and the club's future plans. Eggimann, along with coach Christian Eichner, commended Šimić's abilities, revealing that they had been observing him for three years. They characterized him as a contemporary forward with impressive physicality, technical prowess, and a keen goal-scoring instinct.

Roko Simic is joining Karlsruher SC on loan. The 21-year-old Croatian U21 national team striker had previously moved to Cardiff City from RB Salzburg in 2024 for two million euros. Last season, he was loaned to Belgian first division club KV Kortrijk but did not manage to secure a spot in the team. Mario Eggimann, the Sporting Director, expressed excitement about Simic's new challenge at KSC, noting the club's long-standing interest in him and praising his skills as a modern center forward.

Roko Šimić is set to become a new player for the German second division club Karlsruher. According to the local media Badische Neueste Nachrichten, an agreement has been reached, and the young Croatian striker, son of Darijo Šimić, will leave Cardiff and sign a contract with Karlsruher.

Karlsruher SC is looking for a new center forward and has targeted Croatian U21 international Roko Simic. The online newspaper 'ka-news' reports that the 21-year-old from Cardiff City is at the top of the wish list for the club from Baden. Simic had a mixed season at the Welsh club in the English Championship but showed his qualities as a number nine during his time at RB Salzburg (2021 to 2024). He is contractually bound to Cardiff until 2028, so only a loan seems possible.
