Kristijan Kahlina is enjoying a vacation in Croatia following a successful season with Charlotte FC, where he played 34 matches, conceded 37 goals, kept 12 clean sheets, and was awarded the best goalkeeper in the MLS. Although he is contracted with the American club until 2026, Dinamo Zagreb is reportedly interested in bringing him back to Croatia. His market value is estimated at two million euros, according to Transfermarkt. Kahlina has a history with Dinamo, having been part of their youth teams, and a transfer would mark a return to his roots. The interest arises from Dinamo's need to bolster their goalkeeping options due to Ivan Nevistić's back injury and the performances of their other goalkeepers.

Kristijan Kahlina, who has roots in Dinamo Zagreb's youth academy, expressed his desire to play for Dinamo Zagreb's first team one day, although it would require the club's interest and the possibility for him to join.
