Zagreb's Dinamo is on the verge of bringing in a new addition from the ranks of the French champions. Young winger Noah Nsoki (19) is expected to land in Zagreb on Friday and undergo medical examinations to finalize his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. According to available information, PSG has agreed to release the player without a transfer fee, but a percentage of his future sale has been included in the deal.
Although the transfer has not yet been officially confirmed by the Maksimir club, it is expected that Nsoki will be presented during the day. The plan is for him to initially join Dinamo's B team, which competes in the SuperSport First NL, which should ease his adaptation to senior football and the new environment before he gets a chance with the first team.
Born on February 20, 2007, in Tournan-en-Brie, France, Nsoki is 185 centimeters tall and typically plays on the left wing. He is right-footed, which is why he likes to cut inside from the left and look for space to shoot or deliver a final pass. He joined PSG's academy in 2020 and made two official appearances for the first team, one in the league and one in the cup.
He announced his departure from the Parisian club with an emotional post on Instagram. "After seven years at Paris Saint-Germain, it's time to turn a new page. These years will forever be etched in my memory. I was lucky to grow up in this club, to wear this jersey with pride, to take my first steps with the first team, and to experience unforgettable moments," Nsoki wrote, adding that it was time for a new challenge.
While waiting for confirmation of the new name in Maksimir, an interesting transfer also took place in the second tier of Croatian football. Luka Kapulica (22), a former great talent of Split's Hajduk, has signed a contract with Karlovac, a member of the SuperSport First NL. The young midfielder spent last season on loan at that club and has now decided to officially become its member.
The transfer window in Croatia lasts until September 7, and other clubs are also active. Slaven Belupo has tied down their talented junior Leon Gecij with a three-year contract, while Spanish-Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Zalazar (21) has arrived at Kustošija through the agency of Andy Bara.
As for departures, Hajduk has sent 20-year-old midfielder Noa Skoko on loan to Rudeš. The situation regarding Croatian striker Franjo Ivanović is still awaiting a resolution, with Betis and Lazio showing interest, while Benfica is ready to agree to a loan with an option to buy. Additionally, negotiations are underway regarding a possible transfer of Josip Šutalo from Ajax to Benfica.
