Sergi Dominguez, a promising young defender for Dinamo Zagreb, appears to be on the move, with reports indicating he has turned down a substantial offer from Saudi Arabia. The 20-year-old left-footed center-back, who joined Dinamo from Barcelona last summer for 1.2 million euros, has become a key player for the Croatian club. His impressive performances have attracted significant interest from clubs across Europe.
Despite rejecting the Saudi Arabian proposal, Dominguez's future at Dinamo Zagreb is uncertain. According to Italian insider Nicolo Schira, the player has already reached an agreement with Italian giants Lazio. The terms reportedly include a five-year contract with an annual salary of 1.4 million euros. Dominguez's current contract with Dinamo runs until the summer of 2029, meaning a transfer fee will need to be negotiated.
Lazio is reportedly hoping to secure Dominguez for approximately 10 million euros. However, Dinamo Zagreb is likely seeking a higher fee, especially considering they must pay 20% of any transfer proceeds to Barcelona as part of the original agreement. The situation highlights Dominguez's rising value in the transfer market and the ongoing strategic decisions for both Dinamo and Barcelona.
