Dominik Prpić has been associated with potential transfers to HSV and Schalke since the previous winter. Hajduk Split is contemplating his sale as part of their financial strategy to mitigate budget deficits. The club is experiencing a financial shortfall of approximately 14.5 million euros, and the sale of key players, including Prpić, is viewed as the most lucrative solution to this issue. Hajduk's president, Ivan Bilić, noted that there were concrete inquiries for Prpić last winter from Schalke, HSV, and other clubs, underscoring the player's demand in the transfer market.
