  • Iker Almena has joined Dinamo Zagreb on a one-year loan from Al Qadsiah, with the Croatian champions holding an option to buy him.
  • The Spanish winger spent last season on loan at Hajduk Split, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 23 appearances.
  • Almena had hoped to remain in Split but will now play for Hajduk’s biggest rival, after deleting his Hajduk photos from Instagram.

Iker Almena, one of Hajduk Split’s better performers last season, has officially become a Dinamo Zagreb player. The Spanish winger completed his medical, signed the contract and was presented at Maksimir.

Dinamo brought Almena in from Saudi club Al Qadsiah on a one-year loan. The Croatian champions also secured an option to buy his contract.

Almena spent the previous season at Hajduk after arriving from Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window. He made 23 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and recording three assists. He wanted to continue his career in Split, but Hajduk and the player did not extend their cooperation.

Instead, Almena will now wear the colors of Hajduk’s biggest rival. Before Dinamo officially confirmed the move, he made a noticeable change on Instagram by removing all posts showing him in a Hajduk shirt. He kept photographs from Girona and Saudi Arabia on his profile.
