According to an update from Sportske Novosti, Cypriot club Pafos did not want to pay Hajduk's asking price for Zvonimir Šarlija last summer, which resulted in his return to Hajduk. The report also states that Hajduk had already wanted to part ways with Šarlija. His possible contract extension is mentioned as a topic. At this time next year, Šarlija can negotiate with other clubs.

Hajduk Split is open to considering offers for Zvonimir Šarlija, potentially allowing a mutual termination of his contract to save on wages.

Šarlija wanted to play and be a protagonist, which was not possible at Hajduk. He decided to leave to find more playing opportunities.

Zvonimir Šarlija was unexpectedly left out of the squad for the derby against Dinamo due to disciplinary issues. Speculation suggests tensions may have arisen after Dominik Prpić’s return pushed him out of the starting XI. It remains unclear how this will impact his future at the club or potential transfer prospects.
