Juventus is targeting Hajduk’s 17-year-old star Bruno Durdov, as financial difficulties may force the Croatian club to part ways with their prized prospect.
Italian media reports suggest that Juventus has set its sights on Hajduk Split’s promising young forward Bruno Durdov, as the Croatian club faces mounting financial pressure to offload a key player.
Since the end of last year, it has been evident that Hajduk would need to cash in on one of their valuable assets to stabilize their financial situation. Initially, the club was looking to sell international stars such as Rokas Pukštas or Niko Sigur, but their underwhelming performances in the first half of the season have led to a lack of substantial offers.
As a result, the attention has now shifted to the club’s homegrown talents, with Dominik Prpić and Bruno Durdov emerging as prime candidates for a potential transfer. While Prpić has attracted interest from Real Sociedad, reports from Juvefc.com claim that Juventus is leading the race to secure Durdov’s signature this winter.
Despite the widespread belief that the 17-year-old winger would benefit from at least two more seasons in Croatia to further his development, Hajduk’s financial struggles might force their hand. Although the club is determined to retain their rising stars, the urgency to balance the books could lead to an unexpected departure.
Durdov is considered one of Hajduk's brightest prospects and has drawn attention from several top European clubs. However, Juventus appears to be in pole position to finalize the deal. If Hajduk ultimately decides to part ways with the young talent, it will be a significant move, potentially shaping the club's financial and sporting future.
