Igor Matanović was close to joining Dinamo, but Eintracht has decided against the move. Previously, Dinamo was interested in Matanović in 2023, but Eintracht's price exceeded four million euros.

Dinamo is also in search of another center forward, despite having two quality forwards, Petković and Kulenović. Matanović could fit into the team as Petković prefers playing with another forward. Dinamo, along with Rijeka and Hajduk, is reportedly reaching out to those managing Matanović's career.

Igor Matanović, a 21-year-old Croatian national team player, is currently playing in a limited role at Eintracht Frankfurt. There is a possibility that Eintracht might loan him out to Dinamo at least until the end of the season to fulfill Dinamo's need for a goal-scoring forward.

Dinamo expressed interest in Igor Matanović, believing it would be better for him to develop in a domestic environment. Initial contact was made in December 2020, but the club decided they had enough forwards, and an injury halted the process. The situation was revived in October 2022 when Matanović performed well in Karlsruher. However, Dinamo considered the 3-4 million euros fee, plus salary and commission, too risky given their existing forward options.
