Lindon Selahi Transfer from Rijeka to Hajduk Split
There is uncertainty surrounding the rumours that Hajduk Split may pursue Rijeka's Lindon Selahi in the upcoming winter transfer window. Recent tactical shifts have seen Hajduk utilizing Ivan Rakitić and Filip Krovinović as joint central midfielders, raising questions about whether the club still has a need for Selahi in their plans.
Lindon Selahi is currently in the background at Rijeka, partly because Petrović has taken his chance and improved his game, and has also been part of the Slovenian national team. Despite his contract expiring next summer, Hajduk has shown interest in acquiring Selahi. Polić mentioned that Hajduk wanted to bring him in previously and might attempt to do so again in the winter transfer window.
Lindon Selahi's potential transfer to Hajduk Split involved secret talks with former sports director Nikola Kalinić. Although Rijeka denied any official inquiries, Kalinić confirmed his interest before being dismissed, but the Hajduk Split supervisory board halted the transfer. Reports of a 650,000 euros release clause were inaccurate, with the actual buyout at 1.3 million euros. Rijeka's president is unlikely to accept less. Selahi's contract ends in early 2025, and he appears uninterested in renewing, possibly negotiating with other clubs.
