Ivanušec is more and more frequent the target of criticism commentators in the Netherlands. Among them is the legendary striker Pierre Van Hooijdonk, who said: I was most disappointed by Luka Ivanušec, Croatian international. There is nothing left of him. We don’t even see him anymore. Difficult and game.
Feyenoord paid the midfielder to Dinamo 7.8 million euros according to Transfermarkt data, Ivanušec is now worth eight million euros and his contract runs until 2028. He has been in Dinamo since 2019, when he arrived from Lokomotiva for three million euros. He played 173 games for Dinamo and scored 37 goals and 20 assists.

He was also criticized by Boulahrouz
Along with Van Hooijdonk, Ivanušeca was recently criticized by Khalid Boulahrouz, former Chelsea and Feyenoord player:
Ivanušec really annoyed me. He played on the left wing and did everything that was not asked of him. At one point I thought – you are not comfortable in the game doing such things. He was completely outplayed in transition. During the entire match, he did not show that he wanted to be important. It’s not like playing against Manchester City and against Walker who always outplays you, he said, reports Index.
Van Hooijdonk is a former player of RBC, NAC, Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Vitesse, Benfica, Feyenoord and Fenerbahce. The tall center forward played 46 games for the Dutch national team and scored 14 goals. He was known for his devastating punch and physical power.
