"The agreement between Inter and Dinamo Zagreb, which owns the player's rights, is already closed. According to reports, the deal is worth around €2.5 million as a fixed fee, with a further €2 million included in performance-based add-ons. Inter's move stands out not only because they beat Barcelona to the signing, but also because they moved faster than RB Salzburg."
"Barça Atletic, in particular, are unable to register new signings unless they first reduce their wage bill. That limitation has left the club unable to act decisively, even when clear targets have been identified and scouted extensively. Jakirovic himself was keen on a move. In fact, the young centre-back has grown frustrated at Dinamo Zagreb after failing to make his debut this season, despite being assured a more prominent role. His desire to leave immediately accelerated negotiations with clubs capable of acting quickly."
Inter Milan have agreed a deal with Dinamo Zagreb to sign 18-year-old centre-back Leon Jakirovic. The reported fee is around €2.5 million plus up to €2 million in performance-related add-ons. Inter moved faster than Barcelona and RB Salzburg to secure the transfer. Jakirovic is described as a modern centre-back with strong physical presence and composure on the ball. Barcelona faced Financial Fair Play constraints that prevented registrations, particularly for Barça Atletic until wage reductions occur. Jakirovic grew frustrated at Dinamo Zagreb after failing to make a debut this season and pushed for an immediate move, accelerating negotiations.
