Dinamo plan for the future

Newly-crowned Croatian champions NK Dinamo Zagreb have signed three new players one round before the end of the Prva HNL championship.

Outgoing players
The club are seeking replacements for outgoing star players like Tomislav Butina, Boško Balaban, Mihale Mikić, Kristijan Polonavec and, possibly, Ivica Olić.

Rebuilding process
As part of the rebuilding process they have signed Silvestar Sabolcki from NK Varteks Varaždin on a four-year-contract. The 24-year-old defender Sablocki has won two caps for Croatia. The second newcomer is Hrvoje Strok, who returns to Dinamo from city rivals NK Zagreb on a three-year-contract. He played for Dinamo's youth team but then moved to Zagreb, picking up a championship medal last season.

Lapić arrival
The club's third new arrival is 20-year-old defender Stipe Lapić, who has been signed from from PSV Eindhoven on a four-year deal. Lapić was formerly a member of HNK Hajduk Split's youth team and is also a member of the Croatian Under-20 national team.
