Although the Croatian media wrote about the departure of Adrian Jagušić to Dinamo as a done deal – the talented winger continues his career in Panathinaikos.
Greek club pays club from Koprivnica 5.2 million euros800 thousand euros bonus and 20 percent of the future transfer. So, there is no philosophy here, the offer of the Maksimir club was “peanuts” compared to the one that arrived from Athens.
This is arguably the biggest outgoing transfer of Slaven Belup. So far the largest compensation Slaven received for the player she was that of 2.28 million euros for stopper Nikola Katic who moved to Rangers, while immediately below, a round two million euros went to Mata Jajal.
A great role in the transfer was played by the legendary coach Rafa Benitez who called him and promised him an important role in his team.

Dinamo will not break its financial limits in the future either. The company from Maksimir was ready to possibly offer the Pharmaceutics 2 million euros after the rejection of the first offer, with additional discussions about bonuses and future transfers. But when the offer arrived from Greece, everything was clear. This is a clear and logical position of the blue club, because how would it look in the future with new possible transfers if the company from Maksimir constantly changed its financial dimensions, they write Sports news.
The firm attitude of Boban and company
It’s boring the biggest incoming transfer to Dinamo was that of Marko Rog in 2015, it was 5 million eurosfollowed by Boško Šutalo and Dion Drena Beljo, who cost the blue club 4 million euros, followed by Nike Galesić, Ivan Nevistic, Gonzalo Villar, Robert Ljubičić and Luka Stojković and Luka Ivanušec, who cost 3 million euros. So, if Dinamo could have paid Jagušić as Panathinaikos a fixed fee of 5.2 million euros, it would have been the largest incoming transfer in the history of the Zagreb club.
Dinamo has taken a firm position regarding the purchase of the player, that’s for sure, there will be no deviation from it. The Blues really tried everything to bring Jagušić, but it must be clear to everyone that Panathinaikos could not compete with such a lucrative offer. No one can blame the company from the blue house, it simply cannot be done beyond certain financial limits.

Adriano Jagušić, unlike last summer, he wanted to come to Dinamo. One should not be too wise and conclude that Jagušić would have had a great opportunity for further football development in Dinamo, he could have played in the European or Champions League next season, become a member of the Croatian national team. However, it is now a finished story.
A talent like Jagušić in Panathinaikos will also have a great opportunity to show all his great football qualities. Well, we could almost say with certainty that he will quickly adapt to the demands of the Greek club’s game, because such a quality player can simply do that.
