Karlo Letica has a new club. The former Hajduk goalkeeper, 29-year-old Croatian shot-stopper, has officially signed a two-year contract with Swiss side Luzern, the club announced on its official website. Letica thus remains in the Swiss Super League, where he has spent the last three seasons playing for Lausanne.

From Free Agent to Leading Candidate for the Goalkeeper Spot

Letica has been a free agent since the beginning of July after his contract with Lausanne-Sport expired, so he arrived at Luzern without a transfer fee. In the Lausanne jersey, he made 122 official appearances, keeping 33 clean sheets; during the last season, he was named the team's best player by the Swiss publication Blick.

He is expected to take on the role of first-choice goalkeeper at Luzern. The club had brought in Albanian goalkeeper Simon Simoni over the summer as a successor to Pascal Loretz, who moved to Hannover, but the 22-year-old failed to meet expectations. Due to several errors in the early part of the season, the club had to search for a solution again, and Letica emerged as the primary choice for the goalkeeping position.

The Journey from Hajduk to Switzerland

Letica arrived in Switzerland in 2023 from Romanian club Hermannstadt, and before that, he played for Club Brugge, SPAL, Sampdoria, and CFR Cluj. He left Hajduk in 2018 for Belgium for a fee of approximately three million euros, following an excellent season at the Split-based club.

This year, he found himself back on the Croatia national team list. In March, he received a preliminary call-up from coach Zlatko Dalić due to Dominik Kotarski's absence, but he is still waiting for his senior debut. The new challenge at Luzern gives him a chance to prove his worth once again and try to get closer to a spot in the national team.
