Footballers Lučić and Lisica discuss transfer near-misses and form struggles

Red Star Belgrade footballer Vladimir Lučić has revealed that he was extremely close to transferring to Dynamo Dresden and Spanish side Levante last summer. Lučić stated that the deals were approximately 99 percent complete, but he ultimately remained with Red Star Belgrade after discussions with club officials, including decisions to provide opportunities to new incoming players. He has since extended his contract with the club until June 2029.

In Croatian football, Dinamo Zagreb player Mateo Lisica is facing a challenging period as he struggles to regain his previous form. After a significant absence from the pitch due to mononucleosis, the 23-year-old has struggled to produce goals or assists in his recent league appearances, despite a promising start to his career following his return to the club.
