Foreign millions near Hajduk entry: Talks with investors to continue

Ukrainian billionaire Volodimir Nosov, along with football agent Ivica Piric, has signaled significant interest in investing in and sponsoring the Croatian football club Hajduk Split. This potential investment comes amid a period of uncertainty for the club ahead of the next season.

Piric and Nosov recently met with Hajduk's supervisory board, including its president Ljubo Pavasović-Visković. During the meeting, Piric presented the "serious interest" of his Ukrainian partners in sponsoring Hajduk, focusing specifically on the marketing and sponsorship facets of the club's operations. Pavasović-Visković confirmed the meeting, stating that it was productive and that Piric showed good intentions.

Crucially, Hajduk's representatives stressed that the discussions did not include any demands or conditions related to the club's management structure or its ownership model. "There was no talk about club management structures or any changes concerning Hajduk's management model," Pavasović-Visković told 24sata. The focus remained strictly on sponsorship and marketing participation.

While the meeting was described as positive, with Nosov and Piric expressing their interest in joining the club, Hajduk's board provided them with detailed information about the club's ownership and management structure. The club is currently navigating its future, with potential foreign investment being a key topic of discussion during this off-season.
