Osijek was said to be in the running for Krešimir Krizmanić, but the transfer is not expected to occur. Although Krizmanić is entering the last six months of his contract with Gorica, which makes him an appealing transfer option, Rijeka now appears to be the more probable destination for him. Reports indicate that talks between Rijeka and Krizmanić have reached an advanced stage, with the club expressing a strong desire to satisfy Gorica's conditions, including maintaining a percentage of any future transfer fee. This strategic initiative by Rijeka could potentially secure Krizmanić's signature, thereby enhancing their defense with his ability to play as both a center-back and occasionally a left-back.
