Sportske Novosti reports on the transfer developments surrounding Roko Šimić and his potential return to the Croatian league. Roko Šimić was close to returning to the Croatian league, with both Rijeka and Osijek showing interest. Osijek, particularly through Alen Petrović, made significant efforts to bring Šimić to Pampas. However, Šimić ultimately chose Karlsruher for his career progression.

Sportske Novosti reports on Osijek's interest in acquiring Roko Šimić on a loan deal. Osijek showed interest in acquiring Roko Šimić on a loan deal without a fee, but Cardiff wants compensation. Cardiff is not willing to let him go without a payment for the loan.

Talks have begun between Roko Šimić and Osijek. Šimić is potentially moving back to the HNL to revive his career after making only 4 senior appearances last year.

Roko Šimić, currently with Cardiff until 2028, is being eyed by Osijek. He returned from loan at Kortrijk but has not played in Wales due to injuries that plagued him throughout the winter half-season. Osijek is interested in negotiating a favorable buyout or strong clause, or possibly Šimić terminating his contract with Cardiff. Several sources indicate mutual interest between Osijek and Šimić, suggesting a desire from both parties to make the transfer happen.
