Moris Valinčić’s injury created numerous problems for Dinamo at the right back position, and now they have strengthened that position with another player.
However, the Blues decided to bring in the right-back for the winter and not wait for him to be free, the transfer of the Filipino is in the final stages
In Maksimir, it seems, they finally broke down and decided to bring the right back of Vukovar in 1991.
Filipino Paul Bismarck Tabinas. That boy is still an enigma of sortshe is 23 years old, he was injured for part of the autumn, he did not play too well, although he attracted the attention of some other clubs. However, as his contract expires in the summer and he has not signed a new one, the people of Vukovar crossed him out, knowing that they will not get much from him in the rest of the season.
Dinamo, in which he values Tabinas the most head of the Albert Capellas Schoolwhich is was coach of the Philippines and coached him therehe already had his eye on him earlier, but they still wanted to go as cheaply as possible in Maksimir. First, they tried to bring Tabinas for free, as Germanijak already wrote, along with sending Moreno Živković and Lovro Kulušić on loan, but the people of Vukovar still asked for some money.
EXCL: Paul Tabinas is on the verge of joining Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb from NK Vukovar.
A fee of around €100k has been agreed.

Cheap transfer for a proven player
They thought for a while in Maksimir what to do, pay for Tabinas immediately or wait for the summer and bring him for free, but then they sent an offer towards the Danube. It is not the 200,000 euros that Vukovar requested, but it is allegedly around 70 thousand.
Maybe in the end it will be around 100but what is certain is that the Filipino is about to sign for the Blues. Moris Valinčić has not yet fully recovered and the question is when he will return to the field, Noa Mikić clearly does not enjoy the complete trust of Marija Kovačević and Zvonimir Boban, and Pierre-Gabriel was written off. Niko Galešić can also cover that position, but as a ‘firefighting’ solution. In the end, though ruled by Capellas recommendationeven though his main job is the Academy, he obviously likes to be ‘inserted’ into the first team.
