Argentine striker Ramon Mierez, playing for Al Jazira, was a target for Dinamo Zagreb. Despite mutual interest, the transfer didn't happen as Osijek, owning Mierez's rights, demanded 5 million euros, a fee Dinamo wouldn't pay. Osijek's director confirmed no serious offers were received and Mierez wouldn't be sold to another Croatian club. Dinamo considered Mierez only if Bruno Petković left, which didn't occur.
