Tiago Dantas leaving Osijek?
Osijek wants to retain Tiago Dantas, a young Portuguese midfielder who has a significant impact on the team's play. After the departure of sports director Jose Boto, who brought him to Osijek, the club needs to negotiate to keep him. Boto previously mentioned that the club could keep him if he (Boto) was present and if the club believed in Dantas. The first condition is no longer met, making the negotiations uncertain.
Sportske Novosti reports on the contractual situation of Tiago Dantas at Osijek. Tiago Dantas, a young Portuguese midfielder and former captain of Benfica's youth teams, has his contract with Osijek expiring next summer. Osijek wishes to retain him and will need to negotiate a contract extension. Dantas can start negotiating with other clubs in a few weeks without Osijek's consent.
Tiago Dantas, who joined Osijek last summer, is reportedly considering leaving the club, especially after the departure of Jose Boto. Dantas has shown his dissatisfaction by deliberately getting a yellow card to secure an early winter break. His contract situation is also a factor, as he was offered only a one-year contract instead of the two years requested by Boto. Dantas has been a standout performer, recognized as one of the best 'six' in the league.
Tiago Dantas, a skilled Portuguese midfielder, found himself at the center of a disagreement between Jose Boto, the sporting director of Osijek, and the club's management. Boto had expressed a desire to secure Dantas for a two-year term, while Director Čohar maintained a preference for a one-year contract. Consequently, Dantas will have the opportunity to sign with a new club in January and depart in the summer without incurring a transfer fee. This development has led to frustration for Boto, who reportedly feels undermined by Čohar.
