News from Maksimir that will delight fans: young French footballer Noah Nsoki (19) is set to become Dinamo's new player, confirmed by multiple sources. The arrival of this talent from the ranks of the current European champions, Paris Saint-Germain, has been completed without a transfer fee, making the deal exceptionally favorable for the Zagreb club.
Nsoki is expected to arrive in Zagreb on Wednesday or Thursday, and after a medical examination, he will sign a five-year contract binding him to Maksimir until the summer of 2031. Although Dinamo will not pay any compensation to PSG, the clubs have agreed to split the proceeds from any future transfer on a 50:50 basis.
The path to finalizing this transfer was not straightforward. According to information from Sportske novosti, in the early stages of negotiations, PSG demanded €1.5 million and 20 percent of a future transfer for their young player. Dinamo did not like that model and countered with an offer of €700,000 and 10 percent of the next sale. The Parisians rejected that offer, and it seemed the deal was off, but then an agreement was reached on splitting the future transfer 'fifty-fifty', which paved the way for completion.
A key role in bringing Nsoki to the club was played by Dinamo's sporting director, Dario Dabac. The young Frenchman plays as a left winger but can also cover the attacking midfielder position, and it is precisely in that role in midfield that they want to see him in Maksimir.
Nsoki is a product of PSG's famous academy, and last season he trained several times with the first team under coach Luis Enrique, who, as it is learned, considered him one of the best talents in the club. In the younger age categories, he also wore the captain's armband.
He had offers from other clubs, but his and his family's wish was to come to Dinamo, which clearly shows the reputation that the Maksimir club enjoys in European circles. His father and manager have already been to Zagreb, where they were impressed by the presented project.
Fans rightly hope that Nsoki could follow in the footsteps of Dani Olmo, who once arrived at Dinamo as the captain of Barcelona's youth teams, only to grow into a world star in the blue jersey and become a key player for the Spanish national team, European and world champions.
While waiting for official confirmation and the signing of the contract, optimism prevails in Maksimir. Alongside the major transfer, the club is active on other fronts. Stjepan Radeljić has completed his first 90 minutes in the blue jersey, and the 23rd edition of the iconic Mladen Ramljak tournament is on the horizon, scheduled to take place from August 6 to 9, 2026, at Maksimir, featuring eight clubs from six countries, including Juventus, Benfica, Ajax, and Athletic Bilbao.
