    MILLION-EURO BID FOR SOLDO LANDS AT MAKSIMIR: SIGMA PUSH, DINAMO WANT MORE, AND THE PLAYER ISN’T RUSHING

    tsg_news Posted on

    Czech club Sigma Olomouc has continued its push in the Croatian market and, after signing Fabijan Krivak from Lokomotiva for around €2.5 million, it has now turned its attention to Dinamo Zagreb. An official offer of €1.3 million has arrived for Marko Soldo (22), with indications that the Czechs could raise it toward €2 million.

    Even though Soldo has had limited minutes this autumn—9 appearances, 292 minutes in total, with 1 goal and one assist—Sigma have been tracking him since his time at Osijek, where he made a strong impression last season.

    Dinamo, for their part, brought him back via a previously agreed buy-back clause (around €1 million), after Osijek had earlier paid €400,000.

    According to the report, the move is not close to being finalized for two main reasons:

    • Dinamo wants a higher fee and is not convinced they should sell a player they still see as a project with clear upside. Within the squad, Soldo is viewed as one of the closest profile fits to captain Josip Mišić.
    • Soldo himself isn’t thrilled about leaving: he believes he can convince head coach Mario Kovačević and earn a bigger role at Dinamo.

    A bid of €1.3 million—possibly rising to €2 million—looks attractive for a player with limited game time. Still, Dinamo reportedly values Soldo as more than a rotation option: a defensive midfielder with size and duel strength who can add stability and relieve Mišić when needed.

    Soldo is under contract with Dinamo until summer 2029, which gives the club a strong negotiating position—and explains why there’s no rush to say “yes.”
