ANTOLIC OR TOMIC

Dinamo Zagreb will consider whether to make moves in the transfer market in the coming weeks after completing their short tour of Austria. Whilst in camp Velimir Zajec ran the rule over his squad. It appears Adrian Callelo, Sammir and Matias Chago have done enough to impress him. However Ante Tomic, Ilija Sivonjic, Dodo and Domagoj Antolic's future appear less certain. Antolic, 19 could be farmed out on loan again as Zajec seems happy with Milan Badelj, Pedro Morales and Sammir in the creative midfield department, whilst Sivonjic and Slepicka also have high assist records. Antolic has not really taken full advantage of his opportunities since returning from a successful loan spell at Lokomotiva last January.

Dinamo would prefer Antolic to continue developing on loan rather than sitting on the bench. Inter Zapresic or Lokomotiva could therefore be boosted by the players services. Tomic, meanwhile was also thought to be heading out the exit door. However Zajec may feel he can offer the 27 year old more opportunities this season and he may be better suited to playing a support role than a youngster. Tomic is unlikely to gain a similar offer elsewhere, so could be happy to stay on a Dinamo aware that a chance may come his way.

Sivonjic or Dodo could be opened up for a loan move if Dinamo were to recruit Ivan Bosnjak. Although Dinamo respect the players work rate and speed it is thought there lack of agression and killer instinct is currently working against them.
