Istra 1961 has expressed interest in 18-year-old Nürnberg forward Tino Kusanović, and Saša Bjelanović has followed the player. A move to Croatia is considered unlikely, as Kusanović is reportedly in the plans of major European clubs. Furthermore, Nürnberg rejected an offer from Milan for him during the winter. Nürnberg regards Kusanović as a strategic talent and has him under contract until 2029.
