Dinamo’s 17-year-old Leon Jakirovic has accepted Inter Milan’s €2.5m plus add-ons offer and will travel to San Siro for medicals. Punters: expect Dinamo’s defensive trust to dip for their next Europa League match—consider backing FCSB or Over 1.5 goals; Inter’s youth investment could pay off later but has limited immediate betting impact for Serie A fixtures.
Inter Move for Dinamo Teen Confirmed by Coach Kovacevic
Dinamo Zagreb coach Mario Kovacevic confirmed that 17-year-old defender Leon Jakirovic has accepted Inter Milan’s proposal and is set to join the Serie A side. Dinamo have accepted a €2.5 million fee plus add-ons, and the player will travel to Italy to undergo medical checks at San Siro.
How the deal unfolded
Jakirovic opted to move to Inter despite reported interest from Barcelona and Red Bull Salzburg. Kovacevic said the decision was made by the player and his family and wished him well. The teenage defender will be absent from Dinamo’s squad for their upcoming Europa League fixture against FCSB as he prepares for the move.
Transfer specifics
The agreed fee stands at €2.5m with additional performance-related add-ons. Medicals and final paperwork are the remaining formalities before Inter can register the youngster. The move underscores Inter’s strategy of investing in continental youth talent.
Immediate impact and betting implications
Losing a promising young defender could weaken Dinamo’s depth and defensive stability in the short term. For bettors, that suggests increased value in backing FCSB in the upcoming Europa League clash or markets such as Over 1.5 goals or “Both Teams to Score.” For Inter-related markets, the signing is more of a long-term play and unlikely to shift short-term Serie A odds dramatically.
What’s next — Mlacic on Inter’s radar
With Jakirovic’s transfer nearing completion, Inter are expected to turn attention to Hajduk Split prospect Branimir Mlacic. Reports indicate Mlacic would likely remain in Croatia on loan until the end of the season if a deal is reached.
Dinamo Zagreb coach Mario Kovacevic has confirmed that Leon Jakirovic is set to join Serie A giants Inter Milan. During his pre-match conference via FC Inter1908, the Blues boss delivered a huge update on the 17-year-old’s immediate future.
